Scouting Report: Martin Pérez
Atlanta Braves | SP
Overall
Summary
Martín Pérez has been a standout performer for the Atlanta Braves in 2026, proving to be an exceptional value signing on a $3.5M minor-league contract. The 35-year-old veteran lefty has delivered consistently across seven appearances (five starts), posting a 2.38 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and 171 ERA+, with opponents batting just .193 against him. He's been utilized flexibly in both starting and relief roles, providing the Braves with crucial innings depth during a season marked by rotation injuries. Despite his unflashy stuff, Pérez has demonstrated crafty pitching ability and durability, throwing over 34 innings already—more than half of what he threw in all of 2025 with the White Sox. The Braves have repeatedly called upon him to start important games, including series finales, and he's been a key contributor to Atlanta's league-best 26-11 record.
