No. 9: Ofelky Peralta, RHP, Frederick
2016 statistics: 8-5, 4.01 ERA, 101 Ks, 60 BBs in 103 1/3 innings (Delmarva)
Believe it or not, Peralta is the youngest player in Dean’s Dozen. He won’t turn 20 until April 20 – two months and two days after Mountcastle. He caught my attention during his first shot with a full-season affiliate in 2016. The Dominican Republic native struck out roughly one batter per inning and found success with a mid-90s fastball. With a lot of other big names at Frederick to start 2017 – including Akin and Sedlock alongside him in the rotation – Peralta can continue to work on his secondary stuff without much pressure or attention.
