Jack Perkins Nearing MLB Debut
Jack Perkins has been one of the most dominant pitchers at Triple-A over the past month and is quickly approaching his MLB debut. Since May 13 (31 2/3 innings), Perkins has struck out an eye-catching 52 batters while posting a 2.27 ERA with a 0.92 WHIP. During this stretch, he has allowed just 12 free passes. Over his last two outings, Perkins has hit the double-digit punchout mark in each start. Last summer, the 25-year-old spent most of his campaign with Double-A, where he posted a solid 2.96 ERA with a 1.4 WHIP across 76 innings of work. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progression as he could earn a spot in the Athletics rotation. Given his high strikeout upside, he is worth stashing in deeper 14+ leagues for the time being.
