Nolan Perry has been nearly unhittable since being promoted to the Vancouver Canadians’ High-A level. In his first three High-A starts, he threw 15 innings, allowed one earned run, and limited hitters to seven total hits. He recorded 28 strikeouts in those 15 innings after striking out 32 batters in 21 innings at Single-A Dunedin. His early High-A results include a 0.60 ERA, a 0.800 WHIP, and a SO/W ratio of 5.60, along with a 1.23 FIP and a 50.9 K% across his first three starts. After Tommy John surgery in August 2024 and missing all of 2025, he is now fully healthy and performing at a level that could lead to another promotion.
"In his first three starts in High-A, the Carlsbad, New Mexico product has thrown 15 innings in three starts and has allowed just one earned run to cross the plate, while limiting hitters to seven total hits. Perry has already racked up 28 strikeouts in those 15 innings, after punching out 32 hitters in 21 innings in Single-A Dunedin where he started his season. The 22-year-old is hoping to get through a full healthy season in 2026, and after five games (four starts) with the Dunedin Blue Jays, the front office felt it was time for him to move up."
"He's rewarded that thinking with a 0.60 ERA, 0.800 WHIP and a SO/W ratio of 5.60. Those kind of numbers usually puts a prospect into Top 100 territory. And while it's not as egregious as, say, calling Trey Yesavage "not exciting" on a list, we can say he's been overlooked somewhat, although it's for a very good reason; Perry hasn't pitched in over a year."
"Perry underwent Tommy John Surgery in the middle of August of 2024 and spent all of 2025 on the sidelines. Now fully healthy, Perry is mowing down the competition and could be well on his way to earning another call up soon. Perry may have been overlooked since the beginning. The Blue Jays originally drafted Perry in the 12th round in the 2022 MLB draft, out of Carlsbad High School."
