When the Rangers signed Martín Pérez in the post-lockout goldrush that was free agency, they didn’t so much get a different pitcher as they did a different...
All of that helped shape who Pérez has become.Now 31, pushing toward the first All-Star berth of his career and perhaps more, Pérez has used all those experiences – good and bad – to help grow on the field and off it.
“He is just free out there, man,” Rangers manager Chris Woodward said. “There’s just like a spiritual Zen about him right now.”Texas Rangers pitcher Martin Perez works in the bullpen during a spring training workout at the team's training facility on Thursday, March 17, 2022, in Surprise, Ariz. , whose talks on toughness, preparation and discipline stuck with him even if he couldn’t immediately apply them.
They became his sole focus. It helped make him feel more present, more in the moment. That trait can also make somebody a better listener. “If you throw one here, one there, then – boom! – down, inside, then outside, you are going to change their eyes,” Pérez remembered, his hands darting up, down, this way and that as he retold the story. “You have to know when to throw strikes and when to throw balls. And I was ready to hear that.”Martin Perez received strong advice from former Boston Red Sox ace and Hall of Famer Pedro Martinez.
