Career
Peralta started his career as a pitcher in the St. Louis Cardinals organization in 2006, having signed with the team in 2005 for a $35,000 bonus.[3][4] After numerous injuries and two shoulder surgeries, the Cardinals released Peralta in May 2009.[2] He then played as an outfielder in independent baseball for the Rio Grande Valley WhiteWings, Wichita Wingnuts and Amarillo Sox.[5][6] In 2013 he signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks.[7]
Peralta was called up to the majors for the first time on June 1, 2014.[8] He made his major league debut that day.[6] He tied a Diamondbacks record by recording 7 multi-hit games in his first 15 games, hitting .328 with 1 HR and 2 RBI.[9] 2015 was a breakout season for Peralta, who hit well above .300 and racked up impressive runs scored, RBIs, and HRs in fewer than 450 ABs as the Diamondbacks' primary left fielder.[10]
