It’s a magical time in South Florida sports right now, so why not?

Starting pitcher Eury Perez has to be ecstatic that he can now call South Beach home. The Miami Marlins have called up their top pitching prospect and scheduled him to make his MLB debut Friday when the Fish take on the Cincinnati Reds, according to Craig Mish. And here’s the kicker: Perez only has 44 minor league starts to his name.

“The Miami Marlins are calling up 20 year old top pitching prospect Eury Perez. This historical start will be Friday Night at loanDepot Park against the Cincinnati Reds per sources,” tweeted Mish.

Adding even more hype to Perez’s debut: he isn’t just Miami’s No. 1-ranked pitching prospect, he’s listed as third overall in all of baseball. A right-handed pitcher out of the Dominican Republic, Perez was signed by the Marlins in 2019, joining as an undrafted free agent on a $200,000 deal. From there, Perez progressed to bulk up and get bigger, gaining a solid amount of weight and getting taller as well. Now, Perez comes in at 6-foot-8 and 220 pounds, and impressively has that frame at only 20 years old.

I consistently watch Marlins games as it is, so I’m definitely gonna have to pencil this in my schedule to be able to see at least a little bit of Eury Perez — you know how jam-packed our “fan-width” is nowadays. There’s just so much content to watch.

But as a supporter of the Fish, I’m gonna have to check out some of this game. I’ve heard from Marlins fans for a while now that Perez has a fastball that is an absolute beauty, consistently in the 95-97 MPH range that can get into the triple digits. And to make that even more impressive, the 100 MPH+ heaters are calculated, so Perez obviously has a high baseball IQ as well. Oh, and his fastball is complimented by a slider, curveball and changeup as well, all of which are solid pitches.

Yeah, this is gonna be fun … count me in for Friday.

Welcome to Miami, Eury!

AND GO FISH!

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
