Geraldo Perdomo’s MLB debut arrived earlier than expected.
The 21-year-old shortstop was recalled to the Arizona Diamondbacks from the alternate training site April 3 in place for Gold Glove shortstop Nick Ahmed, who was then placed on the 10-day Injured List. Perdomo made his big league debut later that night and went 1-for-10 at the plate before he was optioned back to the alternate training site April 10.
For a prospect who never played above High-A Visalia in the minors, Perdomo showed poise and confidence. The statistics may seem disappointing on the surface, but plenty of optimism remains.
