RHP Tyson Perez (22)
Drafted in the 17th round in 2011 out of Fresno Community College, Perez spent his first professional season with the Greeneville Astros. In 13 starts, he was 2-5 with a 5.07 ERA and a 1.364 WHIP, numbers which are skewed by a rough July. He has good strikeout numbers with almost a strikeout per inning and a SO/BB ratio of 3.76. Perez was singled out by Baseball America as a later signing that they thought could be a sleeper.
