Drafting a NCAA 4th year player signing bonus

Say you have a 6’4 LHP that commands 4 pitches and sits 96-97(Im using this for illustration), he desires to complete his degree in all 4 years, loves college. Why can’t an agent create a “market” for him for the first year draft to get him, not only get him drafted in the 1st round, but first round money? Not a $5,000 signing bonus. In other words, tell all 30 clubs for example, X amount of dollars are required to sign him and the club that needs a power lefty, that is basically MLB ready, he’s gonna need this much to sign with them. What am I missing with the process of drafting a 4th year guy?
