Pérez might not have the ability to toss a fastball past players, so he depends on a range of unconventional shipments to keep challengers off balance at the plate.
“He loves playing the game and just finds a way to be successful and give hitters a hard time,” stated Indians pitching coach Carl Willis. “To me, that’s baseball. He pitches. He’s learned how to pitch. For an old guy like me, that’s fun to watch.”
“It’s always good to have a lefty,” Willis said. “I’m not sure with the three-batter minimum rule now, I guess you’re always trying to take your best pitchers, but right now you’re looking for your best pitchers because they have to get hitters out from either side of the plate.
“I don’t know if it’s as important as it used to be because of that rule. But it’s not often you see a bullpen without at least one lefty.”
