It’s no secret Salvador Perez has been on a tear for the KC Royals this season. He’s performing at a high level, slashing .277/.317/.550 with a career-high 41 home runs and career-best 102 RBIs.
Perez was especially hot in August, so much so that he tied Chili Davis and John Mayberry for the most home runs hit by a Royal in a single month with 12. That feat allowed him to tie Mike Moustakas’ 38 homers for the second best single season KC total, a milestone he’s since passed. Now, he’s in good position to break the club record (more on that later).
