2023 Player Outlook

2023 Recap: There is no question that Sal Perez is the incumbent behind the dish and will again be an impact bat in the middle of the Royals’ lineup, despite coming off a 2023 season when his power dwindled a bit with a 714 OPS compared to 757 and 860 in 2022 and 2021 respectively. 

2024 Outlook: He is two years removed from a 48 HR/121 RBI season but like past years, some of Perez’s struggles came because of injury. As Perez gets older, we will see more time for the veteran at first base and designated hitter and Felix Fermin has proved to be a reliable backup for the Royals.
