Perez gets assigned to the new Houston Hi-A affiliate Buies Creek in a season where he’ll only be a ripe 19 years old. The converted infielder is already ranked within the Astro’s Top 5 across many publications. He was regarded as having the best arm coming out of the 2014 International signing class in 2015. Perez has three near plus pitches working for him and throws them with decent control. Small sample sizes from 2015 (50 IP) and 2016 (66.2 IP) with LoA Quad Cities had Perez registering a very impressive strike out percentage of 27%. The right-hander’s fastball runs at 92-94 and tops out at 96 mph.
