Jack Perkins

data as of June 3, 2026·week 10

Perkins is a buy-low — ERA is BABIP noise, not skill.

Limited data: this call rests on the first stable sample of the season. His ERA is 5.46, inflated by a BABIP-against of .333 — 38 points above the league average of .295. BABIP-against needs around 800 balls in play to stabilize; he has 79, so that gap is luck, not a signal about his stuff. Strip out the noise: his expected ERA is 3.14, over two runs lower. His hard-hit rate allowed is 34.2% and barrel rate allowed is 5.1%, both well below league averages and past their stabilization thresholds. He strikes out 26.4% of batters, above the league norm. The skill is real; the surface is not. Buy low.
