Senger David Peralta Guerreiro (born August 14, 1987) is a Venezuelan professional baseball outfielder for the Arizona Diamondbacks of Major League Baseball (MLB).

Career

Peralta started his career as a pitcher in the St. Louis Cardinals organization in 2006. After numerous injuries and two shoulder surgeries, the Cardinals released Peralta in 2009. He then played as an outfielder in independent baseball for the Rio Grande Valley WhiteWings, Wichita Wingnuts and Amarillo Sox.[1][2] In 2013 he signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks.[3]

Peralta was called up to the majors for the first time on June 1, 2014.[4] He made his major league debut that day.[2] He tied a Diamondbacks record by recording 7 multi-hit games in his first 15 games, hitting .328 with 1 HR and 2 RBI.[5] 2015 was a breakout season for Peralta, who hit well above .300 and racked up impressive runs scored, RBIs, and HRs in fewer than 450 ABs as the Diamondbacks' primary left fielder.[6]
