Edgleen Perez
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Perez projects as a defense-first catcher who may carve out a role as a solid backup or utility defender in majors if offensive development continues. Best-case scenario involves him learning to lift ball more frequently and tapping into his hard-hit potential to become a second-division everyday player. More realistic scenario projects him as backup catcher with elite framing ability and pitch-blocking skills, settling into a reserve or platoon role. If offensive stagnation continues and power never materializes, ceiling drops to bench/organizational player. Currently trending downward after strong 2024 FCL performance, but age and defensive profile provide reasonable optimism for recovery.
