The San Diego Padres have reportedly inked their third and final pick of the first round of the 2016 MLB Draft.

Kent State left-hander Eric Lauer, selected 25th overall, agreed to a deal worth $2 million, according to Baseball America's John Manuel. That's $159,900 under his draft slot.

Though he didn't play for a powerhouse program, Lauer turned himself into a household name with record-setting numbers in college.

The deal means all three Padres first-rounders - Cal Quantrill, Hudson Sanchez, and Lauer - have been signed.
