Martin Perez Texas Rangers — No. – Pitcher Born: April 4, 1991
Guanare, Portuquesa, VenezuelaBats: Left Throws: Left Martín Pérez (born April 4, 1991 in Guanare, Portuquesa, Venezuela) is a Minor League Baseball pitcher in the Texas Rangers organization. He currently plays for the Round Rock Express the Double-A affiliate of the Rangers. Baseball America ranked Perez as the #17 baseball prospect in their top 100 for 2010.[1]
The Texas Rangers signed Perez in 2007 for $580,000 as a undrafted free agent. While only making 15 short starts in 62 innings at Rookie-level Spokane, Perez went 1-2 with a 3.65 earned run average.
Perez features a four-seam fastball that is regularly clocked at 92 mph, a sharp breaking curveball, and a change-up. His velocity is not that of a power pitcher, but his pitches have good movement. The speed of his fastball has increased since he was signed. Being as small as he is at 6'0" and 165 lbs, Perez may always be more of a finesse pitcher than a power pitcher even if he is able to consistently throw a mid-90's fastball. He is compared to be a cross between Johan Santana and Greg Maddux by Jason Parks of Baseball Time in Arlington.
