Eduardo Pérez is calling the World Series for ESPN Radio but it's often forgotten that...
Eduardo Pérez is covering the World Series as an analyst for ESPN Radio's broadcasts. Nine years ago, he was the bench coach for the Astros' first season in the American League.PHILADELPHIA — Well before the Astros running roughshod over the American League became a birthright for the current generation of fans, Eduardo Perez was around for a different baseball landscape in Houston.
That year was 2013 and Perez, a 13-year major league player who had spent two years on the Marlins’ staff, was the new bench coach for the Astros’ first season in the American League. “Not a lot of people know about ,” Perez said of days on manager Bo Porter’s staff. “It’s been nine years since and wow, how far have they come, right?”
“The way they drafted Correa and then had money to get McCullers, I think they reinvented the way teams would draft and our job as coaches was to identify what talent was still going to be round when this team was going to be impactful and develop those players at the major league level.”
