This season for the Dunedin Blue Jays, Perez has logged 75 innings across 14 starts. The 20-year-old holds a 3.48 ERA, 1.013 WHIP, 81 strikeouts and 4.05 strikeout/walk rate.
He is still a long way away from being in the Big Leagues but if he keeps performing this way, he'll make it there in no time.
