Wenceel Perez

Perez had a solid if not spectacular rookie season for the Tigers in 2024. The 24-year-old slashed .242/.300/.383 with nine home runs, 37 RBI and 51 runs scored across 112 games. He also chipped in nine stolen bases in 14 attempts. While Perez played some middle infield during his time in the minors, he exclusively appeared in the outfield for Detroit. Moving forward, Perez's greatest fantasy asset appears to be his speed. He swiped 26 bags in 33 attempts across three levels of the minor leagues in 2023. Perez was less efficient on the bases last year in the majors, though it's encouraging to see him run fairly frequently. Perez also sported an impressive .890 OPS over 35 games during his taste of Triple-A in 2023, so there could be room for further offensive growth in his second MLB campaign. Heading into 2025, the Tigers appear to have Riley Greene and Parker Meadows locked in as outfield mainstays in left and center, respectively. That leaves right field for Perez, and he should have a path to regular playing time, though utility player Matt Vierling will likely factor into the mix as well. Perez doesn't offer the most exciting fantasy profile, but he should be good for a handful of steals with the potential to take his overall game a step forward. Read Past Outlooks
