No, it's not that Luis Perdomo - STLtoday.com
CHICAGO • When the Cardinals determined that hotshot Alex Reyes, the top righthanded pitching prospect in the organization, would be unable to pitch in next weekend’s Futures Game they were somewhat limited in their choices when it came to... The Cardinals will send Luis Perdomo to the Futures Game in Reyes’ place and that instantly inspired a question from many readers on Twitter or in the StlToday. Wait, that Luis Perdomo. They shed longtime top prospect and longtime roster riddle Anthony Reyes and in exchange got a reliever, Luis Perdomo. This Luis Perdomo – prospect Luis David Perdomo – is not that Luis Perdomo (Luis M Perdomo), and here are the ways to tell them apart:. • Luis David Perdomo is 22, born in 1993. Luis M Perdomo is 31, signed in 2003. • Luis David Perdomo throws between 93-96 mph on his fastball. Luis M Perdomo averaged 91. 8 on his fastball in his final season and threw an 84-mph slider one out of every three pitches. • Luis M Perdomo never pitched for the Cardinals. The Cardinals left Perdomo unprotected in the Rule 5 draft. He did not pitch a game for the Giants before they offered him back to the Cardinals because he wasn’t going to stay on the major-league roster. Source: www.stltoday.com
