Matt Perisho

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Matthew Alan (Matt) Perisho (born June 8, 1975 in Burlington, Iowa) is a relief pitcher in Major League Baseball who plays for the New York Mets. He has also played for the Anaheim Angels (1997), Texas Rangers (1999-2000), Detroit Tigers (2001-02), Florida Marlins (2004-05) and Boston Red Sox (2005). He is a left-handed specialist.

Perisho throws a low-90s fastball, a good slider, but he uses a change-up when necessary against right handed batters. His most productive season came in 2004 for the Marlins, when he made a career-high 66 appearances and posted a 5-3 record with 10 holds in 47.0 innings, and held left-handed hitters to a .207 batting average (18-for-87).
