Organization Prospect Rankings

Perez played the 2013 season while afflicted with Bell's Palsy, a nerve condition that caused temporary paralysis on one side of his face. Healthy in 2014, Perez enjoyed a breakout year and served as Yan Gomes' understudy in Cleveland after being called up in July. Perez has long been known for his defense, but his offense took a major step forward in 2014 and gives him a chance to be more than just a defense-first backup. He shows outstanding bat-to-ball skills and takes short swings, allowing him to let the ball travel deep in the zone. Aside from being healthy and actually able to see the ball out of both eyes, the other big difference for Perez in 2014 was a more aggressive swing rather than a contact-oriented one, indicating he could have close to average power. Perez remains a standout defender. He calls a good game, receives the ball well and has an above-average throwing arm. He'll reprise his role as Gomes' backup in 2015.
