Mike
Perlo

Unsigned Senior Showcase (October 3, 2015) Perlo has a compact build standing 5-foot-9, 170-pounds. Offensively – at the plate he uses a relaxed approach, knee lift for timing on the pitch. Hands power inside the ball fast (84 exit velocity), barrel is slightly uphill, hands are above the ball at contact. Full extension after contact, high finish.  Defensively – appears to move well behind the plate (7.22 60) wide base with a big visible target. Quick transfer, short compact arm action, throws from an over-the-top slot – 74 mph, 2.02 was his best pop time. With his already quick hands and feet, some added arm strength will give opposing runners a hard time.

New York Games (July 7-9, 2015) Stands at an athletic looking 5-foot-9, 170-pounds. Behind the plate has good hands and receives the ball cleanly. Has a wide base with good target and shows promise with smooth transfer. Quick arm action with a Low-High-3/4 arm slot. At the plate his setup is balanced and relaxed. Has smooth back load and short stride to the pitch, shows projection with the bat, some uphill bat plane tilt and a mid-section balanced finish. Bat and hand speed will quicken with more strength gains.
