BA Grade/Risk: 40/High
Track Record: Perez generated buzz soon after signing with the Brewers for $700,000 and was so advanced that the Brewers sent him to their alternate training site in 2020 during the canceled minor league season. He showed a power stroke with free-swinging tendencies in his pro debut in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League in 2021, then in 2022 with Low-A Carolina, pitchers were able to better exploit holes in his game.
Scouting Report: Perez has a lefthanded swing that works well and stays smooth and usually compact with a good path through the zone. When Perez gets the sweet spot on the ball, especially down and in, he's able to drive it for damage, with exit velocities up to 113 mph. There's above-average raw power, but he will need to become a more selective hitter. He expands the zone too often and struggles to recognize offspeed pitches, so he doesn't walk much and he struck out at a 30% clip. Perez has gained significant power since signing as he's bulked up, but that added weight has caused his speed to regress. He's now a below-average runner who moved from center to left field. His defensive instincts are solid, though his arm arm has backed up to below-average.
The Future: The 2022 season was a difficult one for Perez, but there are still promising traits intact for him to build upon. The 2023 season will be a critical rebound year.

Track Record: The son of former major league outfielder Robert Perez, Hedbert trained in his father’s program in Venezuela before signing with the Brewers for $700,000 when he was 16. He was so advanced that the Brewers brought him to their alternate training site as a 17-year-old in 2020 before he made his pro debut in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League in 2021. Perez hit well in the ACL before a late promotion to Low-A Carolina as an 18-year-old, where he struggled as he slid into a free-swinging mentality.
Scouting Report: Perez’s strength is in the batter’s box. He has fast bat speed from a fluid, compact lefthanded swing and a good path through the hitting zone. Perez has added significant weight and strength over the last couple of years, driving the ball with easy, above-average power he taps into in games. He has a fairly sound idea of the strike zone for his age, but he gets himself into trouble trying to swing for the fences at times. Perez’s speed and arm strength have regressed as he’s added bulk, decreasing his chances of sticking in center field. He’s now a solid-average runner with fringe-average arm strength. The Brewers will continue to develop him in center, it’s more likely he heads to a corner long term.
The Future: The most optimistic projections see Perez as an offensive difference-maker with good defense on a corner spot, but he’s many years from that ceiling. He is set to return to Low-A Carolina to begin 2022.

TRACK RECORD: Perez is the son of former major league outfielder Robert Perez and trained with his father before signing with the Brewers for $700,000 in 2019.

He was one of the Brewers’ top performers at instructional league in the fall.
SCOUTING REPORT: Perez could soon be the top prospect in the organization. He has a fast, easy and efficient swing from the left side with strong bat-to-ball skills and a firm grasp of the strike zone. He has at least above-average raw power and could develop more with continued physical growth. Perez has added considerable muscle the past couple of years and is a plus runner with quick acceleration in center field. He reads balls well off the bat and takes efficient routes for a 17-year-old. His strong arm is another plus tool. He’s also a fluent English speaker whose maturity and charismatic personality endear him to teammates and coaches.
THE FUTURE: Perez has a chance to be an impact player at a premium position. He’s still a teenager who has yet to make his pro debut, but he could be a fast riser through the system. -

Midseason Update: When Perez signed in 2019, he looked like a potential power/speed threat. Since then, his speed has backed up, limiting him to an outfield corner, but his swing remains sound and his raw power allows him to hit the ball as far as nearly any hitter in the organization. Where Perez needs to make the most improvement is in his ability to recognize offspeed pitches and become a more selective hitter, as he can get into free-swinging mode and is striking out in one third of his trips to the plate without many walks. The power is there for Perez to handle himself in an outfield corner, but his plate discipline and pitch recognition will be the key for his future.
