DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers today announced the club has agreed to terms with right-handed pitcher Ryan Perry from the University of Arizona, the team's first pick (21st overall) in the 2008 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft.

Perry appeared in 31 games (six starts) with Arizona in 2008, compiling a 6-3 record, 2.89 ERA (74.2IP/24ER), one save and 72 strikeouts. He limited the opposition to a .217 batting average (60x276) with the Wildcats this past season.

A 6-4, 200-pound right-hander, Perry earned all-star honors with Orleans in the Cape Cod League during the summer of 2007. He posted a 1-2 record, 4.15 ERA (21.2IP/10ER) and 30 strikeouts in 18 appearances. Perry was tabbed the ninth-best prospect in the Cape Cod League by Baseball America.

With Perry agreeing to terms, the Tigers have now signed 34 players selected in this year's draft. Additionally, the Tigers have now agreed to terms with each of the first 17 players the club selected.
