The Detroit Tigers used a first-round pick on Texas signee Bryce Rainer in the MLB draft on Sunday.

Rainer is a shortstop who attended Harvard-Westlake High in California. He was selected with the draft's 11th overall pick.

Rainer signed with Texas this past November, but it is unlikely that he'll ever play in a Longhorns uniform. According to MLB.com, the assigned value for the 11th overall pick's signing bonus is $5,712,100 although that number is negotiable.

Each of the 62 high school standouts who were selected in the MLB draft's first round over the past five years opted for a professional career. A first-round pick out of high school last failed to sign in 2018 when Carter Stewart (Eastern Florida State), Matt McLain (UCLA) and J.T. Ginn (Mississippi State) all ended up in school.

Rainer is ranked by Perfect Game as the No. 3 talent in the 2024 recruiting cycle. A MaxPreps All-American, Rainer hit .511 during his senior year while scoring 36 runs and stealing 17 bases.

Rainer is not the only infield prospect that Texas is at risk of losing to the MLB draft. Austin product Theo Gillen could hear his name called later in the first round, and Jason Flores is viewed as a top-200 talent in this draft class. Recent Texas A&M flip Adrian Rodriguez, Carson Luna and Samuel Richardson are also infielders in UT's Class of 2024.
