Are Wandy and Freddy Peralta related?
They aren’t related, but the pair of right-handed pitchers formed a friendship because of their last names. The Brewers acquired Freddy Peralta in December 2015 from the Seattle Mariners, but he didn’t make his MLB debut until 2018.

“I know him very well,” Wily Peralta said Wednesday, after Tuesday’s 1-0 win over the Brewers in the 11th inning on Derek Hill’s walk-off double. “I would joke with him when I was there. He was a young kid. I would say, ‘There’s not many Peraltas in baseball, especially on the Brewers, so you better represent the name.’”
