Since the Atlanta Braves catching duo of Tyler Flowers and Kurt Suzuki were both injured during the first series of the 2018 season, Alex Anthopoulos has added more depth to the catcher position in the form of Carlos Perez.
Perez, 27 years old, has played 3 years in the major leagues with the Los Angeles Angels. Carlos Perez only played in 20 games at the major league level in 2017. Here are his offensive stats:
| Year | Team | LG | G | AB | R | H | TB | 2B | 3B | HR | RBI | BB | IBB | SO | SB | CS | AVG | OBP | SLG | OPS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2015 | LAA | AL | 86 | 260 | 20 | 65 | 90 | 13 | 0 | 4 | 21 | 19 | 0 | 49 | 2 | 0 | . |
