Fantasy Baseball Player Notes

Two years removed from an injury-plagued season, Freddy Peralta returned to form in 2024, posting a 3.79 ERA and 1.21 WHIP in 173 2/3 innings. He struck out precisely 200 batters for a 27.6 strikeout rate, slightly below his career average. His 9.4% walk rate leaves much to be desired, but it is directly in line with his career average. While not exactly an "ace" in fantasy baseball, Peralta offers a strong strikeout upside, and he has started 30+ games in each of the last two seasons. Just don't draft him thinking he'll competently hold down the SP1 position on your roster.
