Brother of Pascual Perez and Carlos Perez and and former minor leaguers Valerio Pérez, Vladimir Pérez, and Reuben Pérez.
In 1990, Melido Perez pitched a rain-shortened six inning no-hitter while playing for the Chicago White Sox. His brother Pascual Perez had previously pitched a rain-shortened no-hitter in 1988. Because both were less than nine innings, they are deemed unofficial.
The most similar player to Melido Perez, according to the similarity scores method, is Len Barker, a pitcher who finished up in 1987 when Melido was a rookie. Both pitchers, while in their prime, could "bring it".
