It’s likely an understatement to say that KC Royals fans love their catcher Salvador Perez. Since becoming a part of the Royals at a young age, Salvy was on a path to become a huge part of the organization. What some weren’t expecting, maybe, was just a big of a part the catcher would play.
Salvy took some time to get going in the majors, hitting well, but not being utilized in as many games as one would like. In 2013, though, he finally caught his break. Salvy managed 138 games and received an All-Star nod, a gold glove and finished 22nd in MVP voting.
