(Photo by Maddie Malhotra\/Boston Red Sox\/Getty Images)Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p id=\"CA5D3GG5OVF4ZNGBUQDI2S5KMI\">Red Sox prospect Luis Perales\u2019 fastball reached 100.7 in his second Arizona Fall League start for Salt Lake against Glendale on Tuesday. He pitched two hitless innings but allowed one run on a walk and wild pitch.<\/p>\n<p id=\"X6XWG4ZBBRE2DFJ2XN6CKE3VEQ\">He landed 21 of his 31 pitches for strikes (68%) and recorded four strikeouts. He had much better command than in his first start Oct. 7 when he walked three batters and landed just 52% of his pitches for strikes.<\/p>\n<p id=\"JMJFPW2P2JACJPXNYV3GKV4J5Y\">Perales\u2019 velocity is certainly back after he missed nearly the entire season while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery that he underwent June 27, 2024. He reached triple-digits three times, including a 100.3 mph fastball to get a swinging strikeout to end the first inning.<\/p>\n<p id=\"XGNCC3QPRFET3BGLHWEKTSK5IM\">He also threw three triple-digit fastballs in his other Arizona Fall League start, reaching 101.1 mph.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3AY5DKVB7JCFBE6GKG3SGW4KCY\">He returned Sept. 13 and pitched in three games combined between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester. He allowed two runs, no hits and three walks while striking out four.<\/p>\n<p id=\"H2XGDM5B4NEV5BA6SHMNVOMRE4\">Perales, a member of Boston\u2019s 40-man roster, is likely to make his MLB debut in 2026. He began the 2025 season ranked as Boston\u2019s No. 1 pitching prospect, but Baseball America now has him ranked behind pitchers Payton Tolle, 2025 first-round pick Kyson Witherspoon, Connelly Early and Brandon Clarke. Overall, he is the Red Sox\u2019 No. 8 prospect, according to Baseball America.<\/p>\n<section data-gaid=\":Rrtb8m:\">\n<ul data-testid=\"list\">\n<li>Red Sox roster moves: Two right-handed pitchers outrighted off 40-man<\/li>\n<li>How Roman Anthony, Red Sox rookies who debuted this season will impact 2026 club<\/li>\n<li>Patriots should thank Titans for Mike Vrabel, and football gods for fast rebuild<\/li>\n<li>MLB Notebook: Alex Bregman\u2019s likely options beyond the Red Sox; the risks that come with Pete Alonso<\/li>\n<li>MLB insider tabs Red Sox as \u2018best fit\u2019 for power hitter who spent 41 games in Boston<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
