Freddy Peralta (SP) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues

ANALYSIS:

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta is not in the Yahoo player pool yet, but you will want to have his name stashed somewhere in your memory banks. Peralta, who turns 22 in June, has won all three of his starts this year for the Colorado Springs Sky Sox, posting a healthy 1.13 ERA and 1.00 WHIP with 20 strikeouts in 16 innings.

He has posted BB/9 marks around 4.5 through most of his Minor League career thus far, but an early 2.81 BB/9 in ‘18 could signal a huge step forward. Oh, and he has not allowed a homer or even a line drive yet. And he’s made two starts in Colorado Springs! You know, the Minor League Cooooors.

The Brewers are a starting pitcher away from being a real threat in the NL Central and Peralta may be just that guy. While there is no real hype behind him getting called up as of yet, he is a good stash, considering his huge minor league numbers.
