Focus Area | Comments |
| Fastball: | Perry threw his fastball anywhere from 93-98 mph and sits comfortably at 96-98 mph when pitching out of the bullpen. |
| Fastball movement: | It has pretty good sink when it's down in the zone. |
| Slider: | A bit inconsistent, it's been plus at times, but it can be sweepy and more average. He throws it in the 78-82 mph range. |
| Changeup: | It's a plus pitch for him. He throws it 82-87 mph with good arm speed and deception. There's good sink to it as well. |
| Control: | He throws strikes, but has a tendency to elevate the ball in the zone at times. |
| Poise: | He's got good mound presence and goes right after hitters, especially when coming out of the pen. |
| Physical Description: | Perry is wiry strong, a good athlete who is lean, but pretty physical, kind of like a slightly stronger Brandon Morrow. |
| Medical Update: | A motorcycle accident limited him in his sophomore year, but he's now healthy. |
| Strengths: | Two plus pitches, with a chance for three. Size and clean arm action say he should be durable. |
| Weaknesses: | He opens up early on his delivery, making it easier for guys to see the pitch coming. He didn't pitch at all in high school, so he's still more of a thrower than a pitcher. |
| Summary: | More than one scout has scratched his head about the Arizona right-hander, who has a plus fastball up to 98 mph, a plus changeup and a slider that is a plus at times. Despite this arsenal, he's been hittable due to a tendency to open up on his delivery too early and keep balls up in the zone. Some see him as a reliever, and he should move quickly that way, but his size, arm action and repertoire say that a patient club could end up with a front-of-the-rotation starter. |
