Scouting report
Perez is a physical, lefty-hitting outfielder with a swing that is compact but still has some lift, especially to his pull side. He runs well, showed advanced feel to hit when he first turned pro, and is generating more power on contact than is typical for a hitter his age. He doesn't have big, frame-based power projection but already has plenty of pull-side juice. He swung and missed a lot this spring, which was surprising given his early career output. I also have a 30 on Perez's arm based on my 2020 fall look, which I think limits him to left field only. He and Joe Gray share the power/whiff/corner phenotype but Gray is further along the minor league ladder and has put a favorable plate discipline track record on paper while Hedbert doesn't yet.
