Scouting report
He was viewed as a polished hitter with middling tools as an amateur but Pereira swung through a lot of pitches in the zone in 2019, albeit in a small statistical sample and at a level much higher than is typical for a hitter his age. He went to the Penn League as an 18-year-old and whiffed in over a third of his paltry 74 plate appearances before injuring his ankle and getting shelved for the rest of the summer. His swing seemed more uphill than it was before he signed, and he became the first of several recent prominent amateurs on this list dealing with developmental growing pains. Now he's coming off of two years without real at-bats. (At-home dev)
