June 11, 20251 yr “Perez is also more advanced -- he started the year at Low-A, whereas Albertus was recently promoted -- and provokes more confidence in his ability to stay up the middle, albeit as a "bat-first second baseman." He's been performing, hitting .264/.380/.420 with 10 home runs in 75 games at Rancho Cucamonga and was selected for the Futures Game this year. One scout lauded his "pull-side pop/loft" while another called him an "arrow-up guy." Still, the current contact and batted-ball numbers drive questions about how the offensive profile will hold up when high-level velocity is introduced, and the projection was more "contact-driven solid regular" than "star "to begin with.” https://soxmachine.com/2024/07/white-sox-scouting-reports-miguel-vargas-jeral-perez-alexander-albertus 2B (106) ... SS (55) ... 3B (34) Perez will end up at either second or third…definitely not SS. Edited June 11, 20251 yr by caulfield12
