Now it is 2017 and Peralta is 28 years old. He has only shown that he can be a capable pitcher on one occasion. Wily was a bright spot of a dismal 2014 season. He had his best year to date and has never come close to repeating that success.
Peralta went 17-11 with a 3.53 ERA. He struck out 154 batters and only walked 61. Since then, his stats have declined.
Before 2014, he was able to throw around 97 or 98 MPH, sometimes touching 100 MPH. After that great 2014 campaign, Peralta’s fastball velocity dipped into the lower nineties.
