Sacramento Athletics AAA
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Perez is incredibly toolsy, and for the first time in his career, he looked like he might hit enough to make it as a big-league regular while taking his first tour of the Pacific Coast League. He was obviously playing in cozy ballparks at altitude, but Perez had a career-low swing rate (38.7 percent), a career-best contact rate (73.5 percent) and by far a career-best swinging-strike rate (10.3 percent) while facing Triple-A pitching for the first time. He slashed .298/.412/.642 with 12 home runs and 11 steals in 42 PCL games, good for a 143 wRC+. The righty-hitting outfielder was added to the 40-man roster on the strength of that Triple-A showing, as Perez's 101 wRC+ as a 23-year-old at Double-A was unremarkable. He's behind Colby Thomas on the organizational depth chart as righty-hitting bench outfielder, but Perez brings plus defense and a plus arm to the table, so he'll find a way to play eventually if he keeps destroying Triple-A pitching.
