Salvador Perez leads the receivers

[- !el Catire *O*]

 

Salvador Pérez, catcher of the Kansas City Royals, leads all his colleagues in the majors with a total of 25 homers in the campaign.

The Venezuelan has hit four homers in his last 10 games and is on track to surpass his 27 home runs of the 2017 season.

Meritorious production if you like, although their figures in other areas are framed in disappointment.

And the meritorious is not free. A few hours into the season, he suffered a knee injury when he brought his luggage to the concentration hotel, just minutes from the training camp.

As a result of the mishap, Salvador lost almost a month of action. With everything and that, his class took the flag and dominates the line of home runs among all the receivers that make life in the majors.

Not counting his performance on Friday, Valencia has an offensive line of .235 /.274 / 446/720.

However, his push production is at 70, which is also a lie for those who claim that this season has not been successful for the Royals mask.

Kansas City is not, at present, fertile territory for success. This Friday dawned with a record of 50-96 to 32 games for the Cleveland Indians pointer at the American League Center.

We are talking about a club whose defeats are four games away from doubling their successes. In an environment like that, you can not be so demanding.

 

Low on-boarding average

Some comments have shown concern about the low average cost of packaging (OBP) revealed by Salvador Pérez. This deficiency is not new and nevertheless the receiver remains one of the best in the majors without much support in said statistics. Since 2014, the Creole has had its OBP below the .300 points: _. 289 (2014), .280 (2015), 288 (2016) and .297 (2017). In 2018 he walks with .274 points. Your OBP_vitalicio is .297. With everything and that, Salvador is one of the referents of his position and his low OBP, which for other players would mean debacle, Valencia seems not to affect him.
