Eury Eduardo Pérez (born May 30, 1990) is a Dominican professional baseball outfielder who is a free agent. He has previously played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Washington Nationals, New York Yankees, and Atlanta Braves.

In 2012, he broke out with the bat across multiple minor league levels, batting .314. Pérez's speed was also well discussed, as he stole 64 bases for the Hagerstown Suns in 2010 and 54 in 2012 for the rookie-level Gulf Coast League Nationals, Harrisburg, the Triple-A Syracuse Chiefs, and Washington. Pérez made 13 appearances for Washington during his rookie campaign, going 1-for-5 (.200) with three stolen bases.[3]
