<p>Detroit Tigers infield prospect Hernan Perez is gaining attention with his ability to put the bat on the ball and play stellar defense for the Double-A Erie SeaWolves in the Eastern League.</p><p>Perez, who is No. 12 on the Tigers' Top 20 Prospects list, came to the Tigers in July 2007 as an international free agent from Aragua, Venezuela. He has played parts of six seasons, accumulating 2,395 Minor League plate appearances over 576 games. In 2012, he played two games as a fill in for the parent Tigers.</p><p>The 6-foot-1, 185 pound Perez is only 22 years old. His mechanics and maturation are advanced for his age.</p><p>I first scouted Perez when he played for the Salt River Rafters as part of the Tigers' 2011 Arizona Fall League contingent. He had an outstanding fall, hitting a very solid .302 with six doubles among his 19 hits. He struck out only nine times in 63 at-bats.</p><p><a href="http://detroit.tigers.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20130701&content_id=52360774&vkey=news_det&c_id=det">Keep reading...</a></p>
