Angel Perdomo

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Milwaukee Brewers #30 prospect in 2021
  TRACK RECORD: It was a long road to the majors for Perdomo, who signed with the Blue Jays when he was 17. He failed to advance past high Class A in seven seasons and signed with the Brewers as a minor league free agent after 2018. Perdomo saw more success after shifting to the bullpen and spent most of 2020 at the alternate training site. He earned his first major league callup in August.
  
  SCOUTING REPORT: Perdomo has a powerful left arm and a track record of high strikeout rates. He throws slightly across his body, sitting 93-96 mph with the ability to miss bats when he elevates his fastball. He pairs it with a low-80s slider that is inconsistent but flashes plus with long horizontal break across the zone. He also throws an occasional below-average, 88-90 mph changeup. Perdomo frequently fell behind in the count in the majors, which allowed hitters to tee off on his fastball. He is 6-foot-8 and, like a lot of pitchers his size, struggles to sync up his delivery, which leads to below-average control.
  
  THE FUTURE: Perdomo will be 27 in 2021. If he can learn to repeat his delivery and throw more strikes, he could stick around in Milwaukee's bullpen.
• 
  Ranked Toronto Blue Jays #18 prospect in 2017
  Acquired as part of the Blue Jays' impressive 2011 international class, Perdomo blossomed in 2016 in his first try at full-season ball. He led the low Class A Midwest League with 156 strikeouts and 10.8 strikeouts per nine innings, ranked second in the league in opponents average (.219) and was named to several all-star teams, from the Futures Game to the MWL midseason and postseason teams. Perdomo has a big frame with long levers, leading to bouts of wildness and inconsistent command that must improve for him to remain a starter. His fringy control prompted the Blue Jays to leave him off the 40-man roster, exposing him to the Rule 5 draft. When his delivery is in sync, though, Perdomo can dominate, getting good angle on his fastball that sits 92-94 mph at its best, more often sitting 88-92. His delivery gives the pitch some deception and his fastball plays as plus, eliciting awkward swings. His inconsistent slider has tilt and low-80s power when it's right, but most scouts still grade both of his secondary pitches, a slider and changeup, as below average. Perdomo needs at least one consistent secondary pitch to continue to succeed at higher levels. He'll head to high Class A in 2017.

  Ranked Toronto Blue Jays #26 prospect in 2016
  Perdomo is one of the last pitchers from Toronto's 2011 international signing class to still be in the organization aside from Roberto Osuna. Among those traded from this class: righthanders Miguel Castro and Jesus Tinoco (to the Rockies for Troy Tulowitzki), righty Alberto Tirado (to the Phillies for Ben Revere) and lefthander Jairo Labourt (to the Tigers for David Price). At 6-foot-6, Perdomo is bigger than all those pitchers, with long levers that took time for him to contain in his delivery. He started to put things together in 2015, earning a late-season promotion from Rookie-level Bluefield to short-season Vancouver. Perdomo has strength gains to make, which will help him maintain his delivery. He has some funk to his mechanics, some crossfire action that gives him deception, but has a clean arm that produces 92-93 mph velocity. He ditched a curveball and settled on a slider that flashes average potential when he stays on top of it. He throws a changeup but it's a distant third pitch. His fielding and holding runners need polish. Perdomo gets weak contact with his fastball and should stay in the rotation for 2016 when he moves up to low Class A Lansing.
