There are few players I’m more excited about heading into the 2019 season than José Peraza. The 24-year-old from Venezuela appears primed for a big year, as he enters his third full season with the Cincinnati Reds. There’s been a lot of debate lately about who should hit in the leadoff spot for the Reds, and yesterday’s performance by Peraza suggests he should get a long look.
José Peraza went 3-for-3 in yesterday’s spring game against the Los Angeles Angels. Peraza, who batted leadoff in the game, got the game started off with a single.
