The Cuban left-handed pitcher Cionel Pérez continues to increase his value in the market, and on Saturday he once again drew significant attention during a performance in Tampa, Florida, where scouts from around 20 MLB organizations were present, as reported by journalist Francys Romero on his social media.
Among the teams that have shown interest are the Tampa Bay Rays, Kansas City Royals, Texas Rangers, and Chicago White Sox, indicating a clear signal that the Cuban reliever is generating significant anticipation for a possible return to Major League Baseball.
During the session, Pérez reached 98 miles per hour with his fastball, while his slider stayed around 86 mph, accompanied by a spin rate above average, a key indicator for modern pitching evaluations.
The left-hander, who already has experience in MLB, continues to show that he possesses elite skills and enough tools to contribute from the bullpen, especially in a context where power left-handed relievers are highly sought after.
His performance in Tampa reinforces the perception that Cionel Pérez is ready for a new opportunity at the highest level of professional baseball.
