Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez is 28 years old. Typically, that is not an age to be concerned about as many players are just coming into their prime at 28. However, for a veteran catcher who has been in the organization roughly since the age of 17, the mileage is building up.
According to Rustin Dodd’s article written in 2016 in the Kansas City Star concerning Perez’s contract, Perez is signed through the 2021 season.
Perez will be roughly 31 years old when the 2021 season begins. For an average 28-year-old player with less mileage on him, this should not be an issue.
