Eury Pérez's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Miami Marlins pitcher Eury Perez is trying out a new curveball grip that he and pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre have come up with in spring training. Perez noted the curveball looks good in bullpen sessions, but he needs to trust it more. The towering 6-foot-8 righty made his big-league debut at just 20 years of age in the 2023 season and worked to a 3.15 ERA across 19 starts, but the club limited his workload after throwing just 77 innings in the minors in the 2022 season. Perez should be given a much longer leash in the 2024 season, especially with ace Sandy Alcantara (elbow) out for the season due to Tommy John surgery. He is certainly worth an investment on draft day and is a dynasty league gem moving forward.

Miami Marlins right-hander Eury Perez (finger) said he had a little cut on his right middle finger during Thursday's live batting practice session. The cut was formed due to his changeup grip, but it wasn't causing him any pain and he's not concerned moving forward. Perez might be held back a bit before his next throwing session at camp, but this shouldn't be an injury that will put him in any danger of not being ready for Opening Day. The 20-year-old is ranked as the No. 23 fantasy starting pitcher by RotoBaller after he went 5-6 with a 3.15 ERA and 1.13 WHIP with 31 walks and 108 strikeouts in 91 1/3 innings over his first 19 major-league starts for the Fish in 2023. The hype is real and the upside is through the rook, and Perez should see a slight innings jump in 2024 after pitching a career-high 128 frames in 2023.

Miami Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said that right-hander Eury Perez will have a to-be-determined innings limit in 2024 after throwing 91 1/3 innings over 19 starts in his first major-league season last year. All in all, the 20-year-old threw a total of 128 innings between the majors and minors. He ended the season on the injured list but was great in his first taste of the big leagues with a 3.15 ERA (4.11 FIP) and 1.13 WHIP with 31 walks and 108 strikeouts for the Fish. The hype is real, and Perez will no doubt open the 2024 season in Miami's starting rotation. Fantasy managers should forecast an innings boost to around 160 innings in his second big-league season. Perez has as much fantasy upside as any young pitcher in the game.
