LHP/OF Gabe Perez (Illinois Valley Central) showed well on the mound, tossing two innings with four strikeouts, one walk and no hits or runs allowed. He’s a simple mover on the mound with a long arm path and acceleration out front. His fastball sat 83-86 mph, topping out at 86 mph, with quality spin (avg. 2346 rpm) and mostly straight actions. He spun his slider at an average of 2245 rpm, playing with short horizontal movement at 75-77 mph. Perez rounded out his arsenal with a 79-82 mph change-up with fade to the arm-side (avg. -15.8” HM). A right-handed hitter, Perez barreled a ball 93.8 mph and 355 feet during his round of batting practice, while also showing a strong arm from the outfield on throws to home (T88 mph). A strong 5-foot-8, 183-pound prospect-to-know.
Positional Profile: OF/LHP
Body: 5-8, 183-pounds.
Delivery: Athletic movements, explosive leg kick and stride that works in-line, plays with some intent.
Arm Action: LH. Long, loose arm swing into a 3/4 slot. Struck out four with one walk in two scoreless/hitless innings.
FB: T87, 84-87 mph. Some diving action with run; got whiffs up in the zone. T2529, 2346 average rpm.
SL: 75-78 mph. Sweeping action; sharp break. T2556, 2245 average rpm.
CH: 80-82 mph. Showed heavy arm-side action. T2090, 1869 average rpm.
Positional Profile: OF/LHP
Body: 5-8, 183-pounds.
Hit: RHH. Balanced setup with slight crouch, small leg lift, long stride. Direct, controlled barrel, mostly flat path through the zone, pull-side/middle. 66.2 mph bat speed with 6 G’s of rotational acceleration.
Power: 94 max exit velocity, averaged 87.5 mph. 355’ max distance.
Arm: LH. OF - 88 mph. Long arm action, accurate throws with carry, 3/4 slot.
Defense: One-hand side gather, aggressive, quick shuffle into throw.
Run: 7.36 runner in the 60.
Perez has continued to show well throughout the entire weekend. He stands in a strong and athletic 5-foot-9, 175-pound frame. A right-handed hitter, Perez showed a gap-to-gap approach with a slightly uphill path, and in Sunday’s afternoon game, he tallied two doubles. In his first at-bat he legged out a double on a ground ball up the middle, and later doubled on a ball to the deep right-center gap. He’s an athletic mover in the outfield, too, with a quality arm to pair. Perez is a name-to-follow in Illinois’ 2026 class.
