Personal life
Cole Persu's son, Cole, was drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 31st round of the 2017 MLB Draft.
Early career
Perpetual began playing baseball at Moreno Valley Youth Federation (MVYF). Perpetual played for Moreno Valley High School's baseball team before moving to Riverside, California, where he played college baseball for the Highlanders from 1987-1990. In the sixth round of the 1990 amateur draft as a catcher, he was then drafted by the California Angels as a catcher. In his first season as a catcher with the Boise Hawks, he batted.203, was converted to a pitcher after coaches discovered that his return throws to the mound were actually quicker than the pitches he caught. He made his Major League debut as a reliever in 1995 and was mostly used as a setup man for Lee Smith. Richard Perpetual, his father, was coached for all of his childhood years.
Closer career
With 100 strikeouts in 74 innings, he became the Angels' regular closer in 1996. He is one of only six pitchers in the Angels' 44-year history to throw out at least 100 batters in a season without starting a game. The others are Mark Clear (105, 1980), DeWayne Buice (109, 1987), Bryan Harvey (101, 1991) and Francisco Rodre (123, 2004).
He made his career-high 42 saves in 1998, his best season since 2002, with a 4–1 record, 40 saves, 68 strikeouts, and a 1.92 ERA. Robb Nen was 7 for 7 in save opportunities this year, tied for most saves in one postseason (since tied by Brad Lidge, Koji Uehara, and Greg Holland; he was also 7 for 7 on the 8th opportunity).
Perpetual, a four-time All-Star, set a 29-38 record with a 2.99 ERA in 586.2 innings for the Angels. His 355 saves have earned him a spot in the 300 save club. However, his strikeouts per nine innings dropped drastically after he came as an elite closer. His K/9 rate in 2001 was 11.08. In 2002, there were 10.86 million people. In 2003, there were 8.76 people in the United States. And then it all fell to 5.98 in 2004. In 2004, his fastball, who had previously clocked at 96 - 100 MPH, was reduced to about 92 - 93 MPH, prompting him to rewrite his pitching delivery.
Perpetual's deal with the Angels came to an end in 2004, and he became a free agent at the end of the season. The Angels decided to close rather than bringing Perro back to Perpetual, thanks in large part to Rodriguez's much cheaper price tag and questions regarding Perpetu's age and health. Perpetual's return as a setup guy was supposed to be negotiable, but Perpetual decided to look elsewhere to allow him to remain a closer.
Later career and retirement
Perez became a free agent for the Detroit Tigers in 2005. However, Perdy suffered a serious injury to his right forearm in early July, ending his miserable start to his career at Comerica Park, during which he converted 8 saves from 11 chances and posted an ERA of 5.76. The severity of the injury ended his season, as well as the remainder of his career.
Perpetual announced that the Tigers will return to spring training after attempting to recover. However, he suffered a lot of pain and left the team early in his first outing. Perpetual's 2006 contract came to an end after being on the Tigers' disabled list and working for the team as an advance scout.
Despite the fact that Persuade's victory in the American League Championship didn't pitch a single game during the Tigers' campaign to the American League Championship, the team awarded Perpetual a ring and a full playoff share. He used the funds to buy a suite for his colleagues' wives at Comerica Park, which was appreciative of the gesture.
Perpetual funded and himself built a new clubhouse at the Riverside Sports Complex, the home venue of his college baseball team, UC Riverside, in November and December 2006.
Coaching career
Perpetual was a volunteer pitching coach at Riverside Polytechnic High School from 2010 to 2012. Perpetual was hired as the head varsity baseball coach at Moreno Valley High School on September 24, 2012. He was appointed head coach of the University of California's baseball team on July 26, 2014. Perpetual resigned as the Highlanders' head coach on November 11, 2020, citing the desire to assist his son in the corporate ranks as the reason for his departure.
