Welcome back to another edition of Top Dynasty Keepers.

The past two weeks have featured two young hitters in Nolan Gorman and Christopher Morel. So this week I am going to focus the spotlight on two rookie pitchers. The first is Eury Perez of the Miami Marlins and the second is Bobby Miller of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

If you have been reading my articles for a while, then you know my love of young hitters over young pitchers. But in dynasty leagues you still need young pitching to help build your staff for future seasons. Perez and Miller are both pitchers you can build a staff with.

Time to Shine

The Marlins signed Perez out of the Dominican Republic in 2019, and thanks to COVID it took until 2021 for him to make his professional debut. When Perez finally made his first pro pitch, he had added close to four inches and 45 pounds to his frame.

Despite being only 18-years-old, an age in which he would be in high school if he grew up in the United State, Perez dominated hitters on two different levels of A ball that season.

As for Miller, after being drafted in the 38th round by Baltimore out of high school in 2017, he decided to attend Louisville and didn’t join the starting rotation until midway through his sophomore season. He then only made four starts in 2020 when COVID shut down the college season.

Despite few starts in college and some concern about his delivery, the Dodgers jumped at the chance to draft Miller, nabbing him with the 29th overall pick in 2020 and handing him a bonus of more than $2 million.

Let’s dive more into each player.
