It has been fascinating to observe the offensive evolution of Salvador Perez. In his first few seasons in the show, the fresh-faced young catcher looked to be a .300 hitter that could give you 15 home runs over a full season. As he settled into his major league career, Perez lost some average in exchange for power, becoming more of a .260 hitter that could hit 20-25 homers in a season, but whose production was ultimately weighed down by a sub-.300 OBP. From 2014-2018, Salvy only cracked the 100 wRC+ mark once.
Salvy ruptured his UCL and underwent Tommy John surgery during Spring Training of 2019, shelving him for the season.
