Rafael Pérez is a highly skilled centerfielder who has shown great potential on the diamond. Standing at 6'2" and weighing 194 pounds, Pérez has a tall, athletic build and a quick left-handed swing.

One of Pérez's standout attributes is his speed. His speed rating of 10 on a scale of 1 to 10 is indicative of his elite speed, which he has utilized effectively on the basepaths. Pérez has swiped 27 bases in 49 games as a junior, 23 in 49 games as a sophomore, and 10 in 49 games as a freshman. These numbers demonstrate that he has the ability to be a threat on the basepaths and can stretch out singles into doubles and doubles into triples with his quickness. Pérez's speed also translates to his defense, as he has excellent range in the outfield and can cover a lot of ground.

While Pérez's speed and defense are his standout attributes, his bat also has room for improvement. In his three seasons at the US Naval Academy, he hit .209 with 5 home runs as a freshman, .251 with 4 home runs as a sophomore, and .212 with 6 home runs as a junior. These numbers show that he has struggled to consistently make contact at the collegiate level and has not shown much power. However, his batting eye rating of 6 on a scale of 1 to 10 suggests that he has the potential to be a more disciplined hitter and could improve his offensive production with more experience.

Pérez is also a strong bunter, with ratings of 7 for sacrifice bunts and 10 for bunting for hits on a scale of 1 to 10. This skill could be useful in certain situations at the professional level, such as moving runners into scoring position or setting up a hit-and-run play.

One area where Pérez could stand to improve is his arm strength. His arm rating of 7 on a scale of 1 to 10 is solid, but it may not be strong enough to make all the throws necessary at the professional level. Improving his arm strength and accuracy could help him make more plays on balls hit to the gaps and limit the number of base runners who advance on him.

Overall, Rafael Pérez is a talented player with the potential to make an impact at the next level. His elite speed and solid defense make him an appealing prospect, and it is not surprising that he was selected in the fourth round of the 2053 draft by the Madison Wolves. With continued hard work and improvement at the plate, Pérez could develop into a valuable contributor for the Wolves. While he may need some time to adjust to the higher level of competition in professional baseball, his skills and potential make him a player worth keeping an eye on in the future.
