Jake Pereira brings extra-base pop, speed, and versatility for UNC Asheville
In the 2025 season, freshman INF Jake Pereira was an immediate everyday contributor for UNC Asheville, starting 45 games and posting 34 hits, 25 RBI, nine stolen bases, and a team-best four triples. His profile stands out for all-around athleticism and disruptive baserunning, plus he showed game-changing upside with a five-RBI performance at Queens and his first career homer against Radford. For a team looking for a gritty, high-energy infield bat with speed and gap power, Pereira looks like a strong fit.
