ChildhoodBorn on May 10, 1990 in Valencia, Carabobo, Venezuela, Perez was brought up single-handedly by his mother, Yilda Diaz, since his father had abandoned them. Mother and son later re-located to Valencia to live with Perez’s maternal grandmother. What started off as just a way to keep him occupied, became his career. Perez was put in a baseball school at the tender age of six. Perez’s talent was recognised while he was still a student. At just 16 years of age, the “Royals” selected him and offered him a sum of $65,000. In the year 2007, he was put in the Arizona Rookie league, which marked the beginning of his career in the minor league.Heightsangels
