Houston’s lefty with real strike-throwing upside
In the 2025 season, Chris Perez was a sophomore left-hander at Houston who made his collegiate debut on Opening Day, logged seven scoreless outings, and worked nine games without a walk—good signs for a pitcher whose game already leaned on poise and command. Houston’s roster bio lists him at 6-foot-0, 215 pounds, and his early college track record suggests a durable, low-drama arm with starter potential if the stuff continues to tick up. He looks like a fit for teams valuing strike-throwing, competitiveness, and a starter’s mentality.
