Danville native and University of Kentucky signee Blake Perry has signed a professional contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks, Aaron Fitt of Baseball America reports via Twitter. Perry, the Diamondbacks’ sixth-round pick, signed for a $500,000 signing bonus, Fitt reports. The Danville native and former Boyle County High School pitcher spent his senior season at the Pendleton Academy in Florida.
Perry marks the second UK commitment to sign a professional contract after being drafted this year. Former LCA and Wabash Valley Junior College first baseman Tyler Oliver previously signed with the Washington Nationals as the team’s 35th round pick. UK signees J. T. Riddle, Corey Littrell, Matt Reida and Lucas Witt were also selected in the 2010 draft. The Cats also picked up a late commitment following the draft from New York prep pitcher Jonathan Bobea, the 19th-round pick of the Los Angeles Angels.

Awsome opportunity for my grandson! He will give this team all he can. I know saying good-bye will be difficult, especially when it means leaving friends,family, and familiar surroundings behind. I know he has alot of hard work ahead, but this has been his dream come true. Now he will have new dreams to dream, new challenges to meet, new friends and memories yet to be made. Good luck to Blake and the Arz. Diamondbacks. Arz. here I come!!!!!!
congrats to all….i know grandma is excited!!!!
