Freddy Peralta has been a name to watch in the Milwaukee Brewers' rotation, but as we gear up for the new season, the question on everyone's mind is whether he can elevate his game to Cy Young contender status. After a stellar 2021 season, Peralta's performance has seen some ups and downs, particularly with an increase in his xERA and walk rates.
What do you think it will take for Peralta to reclaim his spot among the elite pitchers in the league? Can he refine his secondary pitches enough to complement his already impressive fastball? With the competition for the Cy Young award heating up, do you believe he has what it takes to stand out in a crowded field?
Let’s not forget the importance of consistency. Peralta's ability to limit hard contact was a key factor in his earlier success, but last season saw a noticeable uptick in barrel rates. How crucial do you think it is for him to address this issue?
And here’s a bold prediction: if Peralta can harness his potential and make the necessary adjustments, could he not only contend for the Cy Young but also lead the Brewers deep into the postseason?
Share your thoughts, insights, and any experiences you have with pitchers who have made similar comebacks. What do you think the Brewers need from Peralta this season to make a serious run? Let’s dive into the discussion!
