Angel Perdomo

WTM’s PLAYER PROFILE

2012
DSL:  0-0-0, 5.40 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 11.2 IP, 10.0 BB/9, 10.0 K/9

Perdomo appeared in seven games in the DSL and gave up only two hits, but he had significant problems with the strike zone.

2013
DSL:  0-1-2, 3.04 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, 26.2 IP, 6.1 BB/9, 14.5 K/9

Back in the DSL, Perdomo again was very hard to hit, with opponents batting only .172 against him, but he continued to struggle throwing strikes.

2014
R:  3-2-1, 2.54 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, 46.0 IP, 4.1 BB/9, 11.2 K/9

The Jays moved Perdomo up to the GCL and he got in a good number of innings, still missing a lot of bats and getting a better handle on the strike zone.

2015
R+:  4-1-0, 2.63 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, 48.0 IP, 2.6 BB/9, 6.8 K/9
A-:  2-0-0, 2.53 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 21.1 IP, 6.8 BB/9, 13.1 K/9

Toronto continued moving Perdomo very slowly.  He pitched very well in advanced rookie ball, then moved up to the short season Northwest League for five games.  The control problems resurfaced but he was very hard to hit.  Baseball America rated him 26th in the Jays’ system after the season.

2016
A:  5-7-0, 3.19 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 127.0 IP, 3.8 BB/9, 11.1 K/9

Still moving along very slowly, Perdomo made 25 starts and two relief appearances in low A.  He put up very good numbers across the board and BA rated him 18th in the system.  The Jays left him exposed to the Rule 5 draft, though, and he wasn’t selected.

2017
A+:  5-6-0, 3.70 ERA, 1.55 WHIP, 75.1 IP, 5.1 BB/9, 7.8 K/9

Still inching along, Perdomo made 16 starts in high A.  He wasn’t as effective, with his walk and K rates slipping quite a bit.  He missed the last two months of the season with an unknown injury.

2018
A+:  1-5-1, 3.63 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 79.1 IP, 4.0 BB/9, 11.3 K/9

Perdomo spent another season in high A, splitting his time between starting and relieving.  He had a similar season to 2017, with modest improvements.  After the season he became a free agent and signed with Milwaukee.

2019
AA:  2-0-0, 1.17 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, 15.1 IP, 4.7 BB/9, 12.3 K/9
AAA:  3-2-1, 5.17 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, 54.0 IP, 6.3 BB/9, 14.3 K/9

The Brewers sent Perdomo to AA, where he pitched very well in relief through seven games, so they moved him up to AAA.  He continued missing a ton of bats, although he also struggled to throw strikes.  He got hurt by opponents putting up a .355 BABIP.  After the season, Milwaukee added Perdomo to the 40-man roster.

2020
MLB:  0-0-0, 20.25 ERA, 3.75 WHIP, 2.2 IP, 23.6 BB/9, 16.9 K/9

The Brewers brought Perdomo to their alternate facility for the pandemic season, but he missed much of July and August with COVID.  He got into three games in August, but couldn’t throw strikes.

2021
AAA:  1-0-0, 1.29 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, 14.0 IP, 2.6 BB/9, 16.1 K/9
MLB:  1-0-0, 6.35 ERA, 1.65 WHIP, 17.0 IP, 8.5 BB/9, 14.8 K/9

Perdomo had an injury-plagued season, missing roughly half of it due to back strains.  When he pitched, it was in relief, about half in AAA and half in the majors.  He had huge strikeout rates, but while his control was very good in AAA, he walked a batter an inning in the majors.

2022
R (Mil):  0-0-0, 0.00 ERA, 0.50 WHIP, 2.0 IP, 0.0 BB/9, 13.5 K/9
AAA (Mil):  0-0-0, 0.00 ERA, 2.57 WHIP, 2.1 IP, 23.1 BB/9, 19.3 K/9
AAA (TB):  4-2-0, 2.12 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, 29.2 IP, 3.6 BB/9, 14.6 K/9

Perdomo missed most of the first half with a fractured finger.  He pitched only briefly afterward and then the Brewers put him on waivers.  The Rays claimed him and outrighted him soon after.  He spent the rest of the season in AAA with them.  He was very effective, throwing strikes and again missing a great many bats.  After the season he became a free agent and signed with the Pirates.

Given his significant ability to miss bats, Perdomo has some upside if he can just get a reasonable number of pitches in the strike zone.

UPDATE:  Perdomo pitched reasonably well in AAA and, in early June, the Pirates called him up.
