The temper and verve from outfielder David Peralta of the Arizona Diamondbacks is ever-present. The smile and the encouragement remain integral parts of Peralta’s effervescent personality.
Landing three times on the disabled list last season did not damper Peralta’s enthusiasm nor his desire to get back in left field.
To the contrary, an inability to help his teammates essentially though the 2016 season weighted heavily on Peralta, but did not compromise his work ethic or preparation.
“I feel great, and ready to go, 100 percent,” he told Venom Strikes in the Salt River clubhouse.
