While most Yankees catching prospects stand out more for their offense than their defense, Perez bucks that trend. Signed for $50,000 out of Venezuela in 2023, he has already emerged as one of the best backstops in the system, while holding his own with the bat during two years of Rookie ball. He ranked second in walks (45) and third in on-base percentage (.444) in the Florida Complex League during his U.S. debut this summer.
Perez moves well behind the plate and shows the potential to develop plus receiving and blocking skills. He has the arm strength to match and a quick release that helps erase basestealers. He's more athletic than a typical catcher and has below-average speed.
A right-handed hitter, Perez employs an approach that straddles the border between patient and passive. He does a nice job of making contact and using the entire field, but he needs to add more strength. He could hit 12-15 homers per season if he learns to pull and launch balls more frequently as he gains experience.
