JUPITER, Fla. -- As MLB Pipeline’s No. 13 overall prospect, Marlins right-hander Eury Pérez is used to dominating on the mound.

Not that the 19-year-old wunderkind needs it, but Pérez’s second spring outing offered a lesson in humility during Saturday afternoon’s 15-4 loss to the Mets at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium. After throwing two scoreless frames in the sixth and seventh, Pérez surrendered homers to Matt Winaker and Luke Ritter in a three-run eighth.

“Every outing is going to be a learning lesson for him, good or bad,” manager Skip Schumaker said. “What are the things he can do again the right way, and what are the things that he needs to work on? Honestly, when he got a few hits off him, a couple of extra-base hits, I thought his emotions were really good on the mound still. I didn't see him, like, chin-to-the-chest type of thing. He still looked like he was ready to go and was competing every single pitch.

"That's what you kind of look at and look for in young guys, his reaction when stuff doesn't go right. I'm assuming very rarely in his career stuff hasn't gone right, so when you see stuff not go right, how does he react? And I thought in general it was really good to see how he reacted when things didn't go exactly his way.”

Despite the results, Pérez showcased his frontline potential. He maxed out at 99.7 mph -- the fastest velocity recorded in Saturday’s Spring Training games. The teenager also matched 2022 American League Cy Young winner Justin Verlander with 10 swings and misses on 41 pitches.

Both marks were an improvement on his debut last Sunday, when he reached 99.6 mph and tallied three swings and misses, and they came against five of the Mets’ top eight prospects.

“That's something good seeing that,” Pérez said via interpreter Luis Dorante Jr. “That's something I've been working with, mostly trying to get some weak contact. But some of them also got really good contact as well. So we're going to continue working on that.”

Pérez worked around a two-out double in the sixth, then got Brett Baty (No. 21 overall prospect) to ground out to open the seventh and Alex Ramirez (No. 96) to fly out. After Ronny Mauricio (Mets No. 6 prospect) singled, Michael Perez flied out to end the inning.

"Super young guy,” said Baty, who called Pérez a future All-Star. “Pretty good life at the top with the fastball, and then he threw me a first-pitch change. It looked like a heater, and then I was just out in front of it, rolled it over. But yeah, good young arm for sure. I can see why everybody likes him."

“Electric stuff,” Schumaker said. “I really liked his changeup. Seemed like he got tired a little bit towards the end and a lot of pitches were up in the zone. Against big league hitters or even Triple-A hitters -- they're in big league camp, they're going to hit those -- that's why they're here. You can't throw elevated fastballs.

“But he's 19 years old. Again, there's a lot of positives when you're watching a 19-year-old. You have to remember that he's like a freshman in college right now. So when you put it in that perspective, and you think about, like, a freshman in college facing Major League hitters right now, it kind of blows your mind a little bit. He threw a couple high fastballs or whatever. But again, 19-year-old that's throwing 100 mph with two secondary pitches, it's fun to watch.”
