Oswald Dair Peraza, born on June 15, 2000, in Barquisimeto, Venezuela, is a professional baseball infielder for the New York Yankees. He bats and throws right-handed and stands 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighing 200 pounds.
Peraza signed with the Yankees as an international free agent in July 2016. He made his MLB debut with the team on September 2, 2022, against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Over his MLB career, Peraza has played multiple infield positions, including shortstop, second base, and third base. As of the end of the 2024 season, he has accumulated a .216 batting average, hitting 5 home runs and recording 17 RBIs.
In the 2025 spring training, Peraza has been competing for a spot on the Yankees’ Opening Day roster. On March 29, he delivered a notable performance, going 1-for-1 with a two-run home run in a 20-9 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers.
However, Peraza’s position with the team has been uncertain. With no minor league options remaining, he faces the possibility of being designated for assignment if he does not secure a spot on the major league roster. Recent reports suggest that the Yankees are considering trades involving Peraza, including potential deals with teams like the Minnesota Twins.
