Brewers Select Angel Perdomo

By George Miller | November 2, 2019 at 3:54pm CDT

The Brewers have selected the contract of left-handed pitcher Angel Perdomo, according to an official club announcement. He’ll be added to the 40-man roster, which now sits at 32 players.

Perdomo, 25, was originally signed by the Blue Jays as an international amateur free agent in 2012, spending seven years toiling away in the lower minors before he inked a contract with the Brewers as a minor-league free agent. With the Milwaukee organization, he finally got his chance at the upper levels of the minors, splitting the 2019 season between Double-A and Triple-A in his first full year as a reliever—the Jays experimented with Perdomo as a starter for several years before pulling the plug midway through 2018.

At 6’6″ and 200 pounds, it’s easy to see Perdomo fitting into a Major League bullpen based on his physique alone. He’s showcased a penchant for strikeouts at every stop in his minor league career, notching 107 Ks in 69 1/3 innings last year, good for a 13.9 K/9 average. He saw his ERA balloon to 5.17 in 40 Triple-A games, but evidently Perdomo is viewed as a potential near-term contributor in Milwaukee’s fascinating bullpen mix.

Of course, he’ll need to compete for innings in a bullpen that already features stingy lefties Josh Hader and Brent Suter, with fellow southpaw Drew Pomeranz ticketed for free agency. Nonetheless, Perdomo seems a good bet to get a crack at the big leagues in 2020, especially if he can show early-season improvement in Triple-A.

    nice to see. he’s a talented pitcher. rare you see a prior minor league free agent get protected from the rule five draft. always an interesting story.

    Can anyone help me understand why a team would select a contract now as opposed to spring training? Thanks.

      i dont know minor league free agent rules well, but he was either eligible again this year or was eligible to be selected in the Rule 5 Draft.

      He would of become a minor league free agent if his contract wasn’t purchased

    Apparently the door into the bullpen is at least 6 and a half feet high.

        It seems that he was being facetious and relying on the more physical/literal definition of “fit.”

          that may have been a typo for “underrated” as well.

    Stearns is very protective of the players he identifies, developed and RETAINS. Literally, his publicly stated mantra. Early in his tenure he risked and lost a prospect to rule 5. Since then he is very conscious and proactive heading into the rule 5 draft. That is why he selected this contract.

      maintaining that balance has to be a tricky task for a team. for example, they probably didnt need to protect Stokes, and ultimately lost him to a team later on with options intact. this year is of greater importance on that front, i may say, with the extra roster spot.
