Blake Perkins

27-Year-Old OutfielderOF
Milwaukee Brewers
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Perkins joined the Brewers last offseason and made his MLB debut in 2023, posting a .217/.325/.350 slash line with four homers and five steals in 67 games. The offensive production was forgettable, but a 13.9 percent walk rate coupled with strong defense (11 DRS) led to a regular role before being sidelined for a month during the second half with an oblique strain. Perkins seems unlikely to operate as much more than a fourth outfielder given Milwaukee's plethora of young outfield talent, but he could still provide some bench value for the Brewers.

Late-game heroics not enough
OFMilwaukee Brewers
April 14, 2024
Perkins went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Sunday's 6-4 loss to Baltimore.
ANALYSIS
Perkins belted a go-ahead homer in the seventh inning off Yennier Cano. However, the Orioles immediately took back the lead in the bottom of the seventh. Still, Perkins racked up his second three-hit game of 2024 and has generated a hit in six of seven appearances. In 26 at-bats, Perkins owns a team-leading .385 batting average with a 1.082 OPS.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Decent chance to make roster?
OFMilwaukee Brewers
March 24, 2024
Brewers manager Pat Murphy indicated Sunday that Perkins should see more opportunities against left-handed pitching, which could indicate the outfielder will make the Opening Day roster, reports Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old switch-hitter had a .603 OPS against left-handed pitching last season compared to a .715 OPS versus righties. Perkins isn't a lock to make the roster, but his strong outfield defense -- he posted a plus-11 DRS in just 67 games as a rookie last year -- makes him an intriguing option for a bench spot.
See All MLB Rumors
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Perkins is known for his defense but finally started to find a bit of a rhythm offensively in 2022, putting up an .813 OPS with 15 home runs and 21 stolen bases over 101 games between Double- and Triple-A in the Yankees organization. That earned him a major-league contract from the Brewers even as he's yet to see any action at the big-league level. The switch-hitting Perkins is 26 but still a work-in-progress and Milwaukee figures to use his options and keep him at Triple-A to see if he can continue to build some momentum.
