There is no denying the 2020 season was very good for the KC Royals fixture at the backstop. What statistics could a normal schedule have produced?
Salvador Perez was on his way to a fairly typical season on August 4th. His OPS of .709 was consistent with the prior six years save for 2017 when it reached .792. After that, he skyrocketed and turned in what is easily his best offensive production output ever.
Even a vision problem that eliminated almost a full month of baseball could not slow him down, he cranked out six consecutive multi-hit games upon his return.
