For several seasons, Peralta was unfairly pigeonholed as a platoon batter, even though the lefty swinger handled southpaw pitching sufficiently to be a regular. However, last season, his numbers facing same side pitching plummeted, as he slashed just .154/.247/.215 without the platoon edge. That said, a .267/.329/.449 line facing righthanders is enough to find a job as a reserve outfielder, or perhaps reverting to his usual role of facing most righties. Peralta's primary issue was a career-high 23.3% strikeout rate. There was a time Peralta was the ideal outfielder to draft late as a safe play, perhaps hedging a high-upside hitter. Even with the weakened state of the current outfield inventory, it's hard to envision Peralta being fantasy-relevant in a mixed league with 15 or fewer teams. Read Past Outlooks
