Peralta Tests PitchCalls as Mets Pivot Toward Trade Value
Mets right-hander Freddy Peralta, a top trade chip, tried calling some of his own pitches with PitchCom for the first time this season in a 4 2/3-inning start against Atlanta. Despite a subpar overall line, he leaned on a broader mix (including a season-high number of sweepers) and averaged 95.1 mph on his fastball, signaling improved form that could boost his value ahead of the Aug. 3 deadline. With an $8 million salary and a strong track record, Peralta remains attractive to contenders (Cubs, Padres, Blue Jays, Rays, among others) as New York looks to sellers amid a difficult season.
