Scouting Report

Assets
  • He's a solid contact hitter with good gap power. Perez has the speed to leg a single into a double or a double into a triple and has expert bunting skills. Defensively, he's got good range and a strong arm.
Flaws
  • Despite his speed, he doesn't explode out of the gates, so he can't steal a lot of bases. As a switch-hitter, he's usually less powerful left-handed and the one flaw in his defense is his tendency to occasionally mis-throw.
Career Potential
  • Good utility infielder who can play every day if asked.
