Freddy Peralta over the years has slowly progressed through the organization and has shown now what he can do. The last few years Peralta has struggled, but the Brewers has faith in him. This season he has rewarded with the Brewers with a 7-2 start and one of the most consistent starters on the staff.
Will Freddy Peralta get his first All-Star nod this season? I think he has a great chance the way he is going. Josh Hader right now is an automatic bid and Peralta is in the running for a spot. Corbin Byrnes and Brandon Woodruff are also in the running for a spot.
When Peralta came up he had only one pitch, but has worked on a variety of pitches. No longer can hitters look for just want pitch from Peralta anymore. The one thing that I love about Peralta is his desire to succeed. When he walks a guy he gets upset. That’s the kind of pitcher you want on your staff a guy who wants to be the best every time out.
Peralta is still very young and has been good years ahead of him. For the Brewers he is still at a great price as they extended him awhile back. These days young starters are hard to come by, but so far Peralta has been a gem for the Brewers.
