TAMPA, Fla. -- The Yankees have agreed to terms with Connor Pellerin, a right-handed pitcher from Tulane University who was signed as an undrafted free agent. The club announced the signing on Tuesday.

Pellerin, who turns 21 in July, pitched to a 2.25 ERA in six relief appearances during his shortened junior season with the Green Wave.

A 6-foot-4, 210-pound hurler from Baton Rouge, La., Pellerin compiled a 4-4 record with a 5.67 ERA over 55 collegiate appearances (two starts), allowing 54 hits and 75 walks with 94 strikeouts in 74 2/3 innings.

Since Sunday, when teams could begin negotiating with players not selected in the 2020 MLB Draft, the Yankees have announced agreements with five players -- all right-handed college starters.
