The Anaheim Angels have agreed to terms with first-round draft pick Kaleb Cowart.

The infielder from Cook County High in Adel, Ga., received a $2.3 million signing bonus on Monday. He was the 18th overall pick.

Cowart (COW-ert) hit .654 with 11 home runs, 55 runs scored, 59 RBI and 36 stolen bases in 36 attempts as a switch-hitting third baseman. The 6-foot-3, 210-pounder had signed a letter of intent to play baseball at Florida State.

Cowart's batting average ranked second in Georgia state single-season history. He was the Gatorade national high school baseball player of the year this year.
