The Atlanta Braves are expected to sign first-round pick Kolby Allard despite recent reports that he might instead attend UCLA.

Atlanta drafted Allard with the fourteenth overall pick last month. The pick carries a slot value of $2,842,400. The high school left-hander likely would have been selected earlier had it not been for a stress reaction in his back.

Keith Law reports that Allard will receive a bonus of $3,042,000 to sign.
