Brayan Perez

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Seattle Mariners #21 prospect in 2019
  Track Record: The Mariners' 2017 international signing class is beginning to look more interesting, which should add intrigue to the organization's Rookie-level Arizona League affiliate in 2019. Perez, a pitchability Venezuelan lefthander who signed for $350,000, projects as the best pitcher from that signing class. He had an impressive debut in the Dominican Summer League, when he struck out 58 batters in 53 innings while walking just 11.
  
  Scouting Report: Perez is already known for his advanced feel to pitch. He throws an 85-91 mph fastball with deception, and he is projected to add velocity with added strength and maturity. He throws a slurvy 73-77 mph breaking ball that can look like either a slider or curveball depending on how he adds or subtracts velocity. Regardless, it's his best out pitch and could be a plus offering with further refinement. Perez's changeup is still a work in progress, but he delivers all his pitches from a smooth, easy delivery and a low three-quarters slot.
  
  The Future: Perez will begin 2019 at the Mariners' complex in Peoria, Ariz., before joining the AZL team.
