Even before winning his third Silver Slugger Award since 2016, Salvador Pérez was among the most accomplished Royals in franchise history. And while he is known far more for his defensive capabilities, as told by his five Gold Gloves, he is now tied with George Brett for the most Silver Sluggers in Royals history.
For anybody who has watched Perez play since his big league debut in 2011, that is kind of a weird sentence to read because Sal has been a below league average hitter for much of his career. Perez has played in six full seasons and he has been a league average or better hitter in just two of them.
