Overall: The Venezuelan catching prospect signed with the Phillies for $1.2 million as part of their 2020 international class. Perez is a left-handed hitting catcher with an all-around skill set, projecting for average, or slightly better tools across the board while lacking a standout tool. The reports are strong defensively for Perez and he gets high marks for his receiving, footwork and demeanor. His bat-to-ball skills play more than his power at the moment, but the power is coming. He's shown flashes offensively and has all the ingredients to become a future big league regular behind the plate. It comes with extreme risk though.
