The Seattle Mariners have signed right-handed pitcher Brandon Morrow, the club's first selection and fifth overall pick of this year's draft.

"Obviously, we are very pleased to get Brandon signed," Mariners vice president of scouting Bob Fontaine said. "We thought Brandon would be a great fit for this organization all along. He's got a great chance to be a real, real good pitcher."

Morrow, 21, was one of 10 semifinalists for the Roger Clemens Award as the nation's top collegiate pitcher. He was 7-4 and finished second in the Pac-10 with a 2.05 ERA. Morrow also finished fourth in the conference with 97 strikeout in 96.7 innings. Opponents batted .211 against him.
