Nolan Perry, a Toronto Blue Jays prospect, began the 2026 season in High-A with the Dunedin Blue Jays, posting a 0-0 record with a 1.71 ERA and 0.67 WHIP across five appearances. He was then promoted to High-A with the Vancouver Canadians in early May. Since the move, he has gone 1-0 with a 0.90 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP. Perry has struck out 18 batters in 10 innings, including 10 in his most recent outing. He described differences across levels, noting the FCL’s mix of ages and higher competitiveness, Low-A’s more limited aggression, and High-A’s improved batter planning. After missing all of 2025 due to UCL surgery, he returned with improved zone control, slightly increased velocity, and better overall stuff.
"“The FCL [Florida Coast League] was definitely different because there are guys of all ages,” explained Perry. “It is definitely more competitive facing more advanced guys in the FCL. I think Low-A was more like college, where the players don't swing as much as they do in high school... Here in High-A, it is similar, but I feel the batters have a better plan.”"
"After opening the 2026 season in High-A with the Dunedin Blue Jays, where Perry made five appearances (four starts), and posted a 0-0 record, a 1.71 ERA and 0.67 WHIP, the right-hander has been moved up to High-A, joining the Vancouver Canadians as of early May. Since the promotion, Perry has continued to dominate on the mound, posting a 1-0 record, an ERA of 0.90 and a WHIP of 1.00."
"“It was tough, but I always looked at it as a good thing that happened to me,” said Perry. “Obviously, nobody wants to have surgery, but at that point I was walking a lot of guys, and couldn't find the zone, so I just looked at it as a blessing. Now that I've come back, I'm finding a pretty good zone, my velocity has ticked up a little bit, and my stuff has gotten better.”"
