Since debuting in 2018, Freddy Peralta has filled a variety of roles for the Milwaukee Brewers. The 24-year-old has started 23 games and made 36 appearances out of the bullpen, both in long relief and in shorter stints. In each role, Freddy has had both spectacular outings and some real clunkers, an inconsistency that is common for young pitchers.
Peralta was one of the main stories on Friday evening with a pivotal relief outing against the Cubs. Inheriting a bases-loaded, one-out mess from Brandon Woodruff with the Brewers trailing 3-1, Peralta punched out Javy Baez and Kyle Schwarber to end the threat.
