Scouting grades: Hit: 60 | Power: 50 | Run: 55 | Arm: 50 | Field: 55 | Overall: 55

If you’re looking for one of the purest hitters in this class, look no further than Perdomo. The teen’s bat-to-ball skills are above average, and he ranks among the best hitting prospects in the class.

He has a good feel for the strike zone and his swing continues to improve. Scouts have noted his ability to drive offspeed pitches and fastballs to all fields with relative ease, and he has a knack for making hard contact. He rarely strikes out and always puts the ball in play. With plus runner potential, Perdomo could be a threat on the basepaths in the future.

On defense, Perdomo is a fundamentally sound shortstop with enough range and arm strength to remain at the position as he makes his way through the Minor Leagues.

Perdomo is represented by Yasser Mendez, a member of MLB’s Trainer Partnership Program.


2024

Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 45 | Run: 55 | Arm: 50 | Field: 50 | Overall: 50

Perdomo was ranked No. 3 on MLB Pipeline’s Top 50 international prospects list when the 2024 signing period opened in January. The Braves had a bonus pool of $5.284 million for the period and put nearly all of their chips in, giving the shortstop $5 million -- the largest bonus anyone in the class received -- to join the organization.

A right-handed hitting infielder, Perdomo was considered to be one of the best pure hitters in this international signing class. He rarely strikes out and has a knack for making hard contact with a quick and simple swing. While he’s an aggressive hitter, he has a solid approach, showing good pitch recognition skills and an ability to drive fastballs and soft stuff to all fields, with his power just starting to come. He’s at least an above-average runner who should be able to impact the game on the basepaths as well.

It's looking now like Perdomo will be able to play shortstop for a very long time. He’s fundamentally sound with plenty of range and enough arm for the premium position. He’ll be 17 years old for the entirety of his pro debut this summer.
