The Philadelphia Phillies have signed 17-year-old German outfielder Julsan Kamara to a seven-year minor league contract.

He will join the organization after finishing school in the spring of 2014. Kamara is currently playing for the farm team of the Buchbinder Legionaere Regensburg in the second division in Germany.

Kamara was one of the German players at a MLB tryout in Mainz last week and apparently impressed the Phillies that much that they signed him quickly.
