Pérez

Only one batter reached against him, that coming on a walk. The four hard-hit balls he allowed, including two from Yordan Alvarez, all turned into groundouts. After struggling in his first two turns, Pérez has rounded into form nicely this spring, having given up two runs with a 12/3 K/BB ratio over seven innings in his last two starts.

Daylen Lile and Brady House hit back-to-back homers in the second to account for the Nationals’ runs. Pérez was pretty much untouchable otherwise, generating whiffs on 14 of 25 swings and finishing with a 42% CSW. He topped out at 100.6 mph and averaged 99.0 mph with his fastball, which is 1.1 mph better than his 2025 average.

Perez is throwing hard and missing bats, but the results just haven’t really been there since he returned from Tommy John surgery. He had a 4.25 ERA in his 20 starts for the Marlins last season, and he’s given up five runs in 2 2/3 innings to open the spring. It figures to get better, but the combination of a lot of hard contact and a bunch of flyballs isn’t a good one.

In his spring debut, Pérez threw nine of 19 pitches for strikes before escaping the inning courtesy of some poor baserunning from Cardinals prospect JJ Wetherholt. He also got hit with two pitch clock violations, which was a rather odd thing to see in the year 2026.

Talks began in the spring but “failed to progress beyond the initial stages.” Azout reports that “The Miami Marlins and Eury Pérez were approximately $15 million apart on a potential contract extension,” and talks have stalled for now. The 22-year-old posted a 4.25 ERA over 95 ⅓ innings in 2025 after coming back from Tommy John surgery. While the results were inconsistent, Pérez showcased the same ace upside that he flashed before injury. With fellow starters Sandy Alcantara and Edward Cabrera rumored to be in trade talks, the Marlins would benefit if they could lock one young starter into a longer-term deal.

The Mets scored one run on Pérez in the first inning on a walk, wild pitch, and a double. Pete Alonso later took Pérez deep for a solo homer in the third inning. Pérez walked a batter in the sixth and recorded one out before he was replaced at 100 pitches. The inherited runner would come in to score. Pérez collected 11 strikeouts on the day and ends the season with a 4.15 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and a 105/32 K/BB ratio across 95 1/3 innings.

Pérez gave up two hits, walked one and struck out nine. The 22-year-old right-hander has allowed three runs or less with at least six strikeouts in three consecutive starts. Pérez has a 4.20 ERA and 94/29 K/BB ratio in 90 innings this year. He’s lined up to face the Mets at home in the final weekend of the regular season.

Pérez put together one of his strongest starts of the season in a much-needed rebound performance after being tagged for seven runs over four innings his last time out by the Nationals. The 22-year-old righty will carry a serviceable 4.67 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 79/28 K/BB ratio across 81 innings over 17 starts into a tough road tilt against the Rockies at Coors Field.

Pérez’s velocity was down a little today, which was kind of surprising given that he had five days’ rest after throwing just two-thirds of an inning last time out against the Mets. He struck out just two and allowed 11 hard-hit balls, with two of those turning into homers. After these last two outings, he seems too risky to play even in a favorable matchup at home against this same Nationals team next week.

What an unmitigated disaster. Pérez allowed five runs on two mammoth homers from Juan Soto and Brandon Nimmo before recording an out in this one. Manager Clayton McCullough yanked him with two outs in the first right before he would’ve thrown his 40th pitch of the inning. It was the second time in Pérez’s young career that he wasn’t able to get through the first and he’ll look to forget about this disaster before his next scheduled start against the Nationals.
