On paper, Perrin's season as a 24-year-old in high Class A doesn't look impressive. He struggled as a starter, going 2-5, 5.54 with more walks than strikeouts, until he took a line drive off his shin and went on the disabled list in early July. When he returned, Perrin moved to the bullpen and his fastball velocity jumped to 93-95 mph. He abandoned his ineffective curveball and replaced it with an 82-84 mph slider, and dabbled with a changeup. Perrin pitches downhill thanks to his long frame and straight over-the-top delivery. He still walks too many, but his command improved after the shift to relief because he did a better job attacking hitters. With his frame and velocity, Perrin has a chance to be a dominant reliever if he can harness his fastball command and refine his secondary stuff. His development isn't expected to be fast, but he could take off now that he's in the pen, as Jason Bergmann did after his conversion. Perrin should open this year in Double-A.
