Freddy Peralta’s official final grade:
B
Most voters did okay on Nola and Peralta (including myself).
I included Peralta because of a Facebook comment about him and whether he would be bumped to an A. Sadly for the commenter, he did not.
Nola was one of three pitchers in the Challenge who received votes for only two grades (in his case, C and D). Jon Lester was another and upcoming Robbie Ray is the other.
Don’t forget, you can now order the 2021 season now via APBA GO.
