25-Year-Old PitcherRP

2025 Fantasy Outlook
Perkins broke out in 2024 after his season was delayed by a lat injury. The powerful 6-foot-1 righty had a 2.96 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 100 strikeouts in 76 innings at Double-A as a 24-year-old, and he got better as the season went on. He had three 10-K outings and a 0.99 WHIP over his final nine starts, and he may not need much time at Triple-A to be deemed ready for primetime. Perkins has legitimate stuff to back up his impressive 2024 stats, boasting a mid-90s fastball with good carry, a plus slider and a decent cutter. His changeup and curveball could use some refinement, and he will face questions about his strike throwing until he proves himself in the majors, just due to the fact he's already 25 years old. However, the pitcher Perkins was down the stretch last year looked like a potential mid-rotation starter in the big leagues, so he's a nice sleeper in dynasty and in redraft. Read Past Outlooks

Secures two-inning save
PSacramento Athletics
July 31, 2025
Perkins allowed one run on one hit with no walks or strikeouts over two innings to notch a save against the Mariners on Wednesday.
Analysis
Perkins entered in the eighth inning and retired the side in order in that frame. He served up a solo homer to Randy Arozarena in the ninth but didn't give up any additional hits and finished off the win to record his third save. Perkins has been quite effective for the A's since making his big-league debut June 22, posting a 2.75 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 19:7 K:BB over 19.2 innings spanning eight appearances. Interestingly, manager Mark Kotsay said after Wednesday's contest that closer Mason Miller was unavailable, per Martin Gallegos of MLB.com, despite not dealing with an injury and not having pitched since July 26. Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports that the Athletics and Padres are in discussions on a trade for Miller, and if the fireballing reliever were to be dealt, Perkins could be a candidate to ascend to the closer role.
