MLB records

  • Most home runs by a catcher, single season (48 in 2021)[1]

Salvador Johan Pérez Díaz (born May 10, 1990), nicknamed "El Niño" and "Salvy",[2] is a Venezuelan-American[3] professional baseball catcher and first baseman for the Kansas City Royals of Major League Baseball (MLB). He is a nine-time MLB All-Star, five-time Gold Glove Award winner, five-time Silver Slugger Award winner, three-time All-MLB selection, Roberto Clemente Award winner, and received the World Series Most Valuable Player Award when the Royals won the 2015 World Series. He represents the Venezuelan national team on the international level.

While Perez played catcher almost exclusively for the first 11 years of his career, he has also spent considerable time at first base since the 2023 season, and played the most games of his career at first base in 2024, appearing there in 49 games, 44 of which he started.[4] This is partially due to the damage Perez's knees sustained after playing catcher professionally almost every game for over a decade.[5]

Pérez holds the single-season MLB record for most home runs as a primary catcher with 48, surpassing Johnny Bench, who hit 45 during the 1970 season.[6]

Early life

[edit]

Pérez was born in Valencia, Carabobo, Venezuela. He was abandoned by his father at age four and raised by his mother, Yilda Díaz. When he was eight, they relocated to Valencia to live with Yilda's mother, Carmen de Díaz. Yilda supported the family by selling homemade cakes, flan, and lasagna.[7]

To keep her only child busy, Yilda enrolled him in a baseball school in Valencia, where he showed an ability to throw, catch, and hit balls as young as age six. He played pitcher and shortstop with teams competing in state and national tournaments. At age eight, he indicated his preference to play catcher, and, at 14, set his mind to playing catcher professionally.[7] Pérez played with and against current Major Leaguer and fellow Venezuelan Jose Altuve during his childhood.[8]

Professional career

[edit]

Minor Leagues

[edit]

Pérez signed with the Royals for $65,000 when he was 16 years old.[9] His minor league career began in June 2007 with the Arizona Complex League Royals. In 2008 and 2009, Pérez played for the Burlington Royals and Idaho Falls Chukars. In 2010, Pérez was promoted to the High-A Wilmington Blue Rocks and also played for the Surprise Rafters in the Arizona Fall League.[10] In 2011, Pérez was promoted again, starting the year with the Double-A Northwest Arkansas Naturals before playing 11 games for the Triple-A Omaha Storm Chasers in July and August.[11]

Kansas City Royals

[edit]

2011

[edit]

Pérez was called up to the majors for the first time on August 10, 2011 and debuted against the Tampa Bay Rays.[12][13] He picked off two baserunners and caught five popups, both uncommon occurrences for the Royals that season, and recorded his first MLB RBI in the 4th inning before getting his first hit in the 7th inning.[7] On August 29, Pérez hit his first major league home run off Max Scherzer of the Detroit Tigers. In that game, Pérez was a triple away from hitting for the cycle. In his rookie year, he batted .331/.361/.473 with 3 home runs and 21 RBIs in 39 games played.

2012

[edit]

On February 27, Pérez signed a five-year, $7 million extension that included three club options and placed him under team control through 2019. His earning potential was up to $26.75 million if he reached all of his incentives and all of his options were picked up. The extension covered his pre-arbitration seasons, two of his three arbitration-eligible years, and, if all of his options were exercised, his final arbitration year and his first two years of free agency.[14] Pérez earned $750,000 in 2012, $1 million in 2013, $1.5 million in 2014, $1.75 million in 2015 and $2 million in 2016. His options were $3.75 million in 2017, $5 million in 2018 and $6 million in 2019. His team-friendly contract ultimately lasted until he signed another extension in 2016.[15]

While catching a bullpen session before a spring training game in 2012, Pérez tore the meniscus in his left knee.[16] He did not return until July 2. In the 2012 season, he hit .301/.328/.471 with 11 homers and 39 RBIs in 79 games played.

2013

[edit]

On July 16, Pérez caught Mariano Rivera in Rivera's final All-Star Game before retirement. After the season, Pérez was awarded the American League Gold Glove Award for his catching defense.[17] He finished the year playing 138 games with a .292/.323/.433 average, 13 home runs, and 79 RBI.

2014

[edit]

In 2014, Pérez started 143 games, more than any other major league catcher.[18] Pérez played in 150 games in 2014, batting .260/.289/.403 with 28 doubles, 17 home runs, and 70 RBI.

In the 2014 American League Wild Card Game, Pérez singled down the left field line in the bottom of the 12th inning, driving in the winning run as the Royals beat the Oakland Athletics 9–8.[19]

In Game 1 of the 2014 World Series against the San Francisco Giants, Pérez hit a home run off eventual series MVP Madison Bumgarner, representing the only run Bumgarner surrendered in five World Series appearances covering 36 innings. Pérez was the final out of the series, popping out to Pablo Sandoval in foul territory to clinch the series for the Giants.[20]

2015

[edit]

In 2015, Pérez was voted to start in the 2015 All-Star Game, his third All-Star appearance.[21] In the regular season, he played in 142 games while batting .260/.280/.426 with 21 home runs and 71 runs batted in. He also won his third consecutive Gold Glove Award.[22]

Pérez batted .364 in the 2015 World Series, which the Royals won in five games. In the Series-clinching win, Pérez grounded to third in the ninth inning allowing the tying run in the Royals' comeback. The game continued into extra innings. In the 12th, Pérez singled to right with no outs and Jarrod Dyson pinch ran for Pérez. Dyson would eventually score, giving the Royals their first lead of the night. The Royals won 7–2 in the 12th inning, making them the 2015 World Series Champions.[23] Pérez was unanimously named the World Series Most Valuable Player.[24] He is the first catcher to win the award since Pat Borders in 1992 and the second Venezuelan to win MVP, following Sandoval in 2010.[25]

2016

[edit]

On March 1, Pérez signed a five-year extension to remain with the team through the 2021 season.[26] Perez was named to his fifth consecutive All-Star Game as the starting catcher for the American League along with teammate Eric Hosmer. Pérez would finish the 2016 season batting .247/.288/.438, hitting 22 home runs (more than any other American League catcher) and driving in 64 runs en route to his first career Silver Slugger award. He saw 3.43 pitches per plate appearance, tied for the lowest in the major leagues.[27] He won his fourth consecutive Gold Glove award.[28]

2017

[edit]

Pérez hit his first career grand slam on June 21, helping the Royals to a 6-4 come-from-behind win against the Boston Red Sox.[29] On August 6, Perez was placed on the 10-day disabled list due to an intercostal strain.[30] He played 139 games in 2017, batting .268/.297/.495 with 27 home runs and 80 RBI.

2018

[edit]

On March 28, Pérez suffered a grade 2 tear of the medial collateral ligament in his left knee while carrying a suitcase up a flight of stairs. Perez was ruled out for 4–6 weeks.[31] Perez returned to baseball activities with a minor league rehabilitation assignment with the Northwest Arkansas Naturals and Omaha Storm Chasers on April 15,[32] and he returned to the Royals' lineup on April 24 versus the Milwaukee Brewers. On May 10, celebrating his 28th birthday, Pérez hit a grand slam, but the Royals lost to the Orioles 11–6.[33]

Perez at the 2018 All-Star Game

Batting .213 with 11 home runs and 34 RBIs, Pérez was named to the 2018 MLB All-Star Game.[34] On September 14, Perez hit his second grand slam of the season in the bottom of the ninth inning against the Minnesota Twins, breaking a 4–4 tie.[35]

He finished his 2018 campaign batting .235/.274/.439 with 27 home runs and 80 RBIs. He swung at 48.4% of pitches outside the strike zone, the highest percentage in MLB.[36] He also won his fifth Gold Glove[37] and second Silver Slugger award.[38]

2019

[edit]

On February 27, Pérez sustained an injury to his elbow during a workout in Surprise, Arizona. On March 1, an MRI revealed that there was a partial tear of the UCL in his right elbow.[39] On March 6, the team announced that Perez had undergone Tommy John surgery to repair the tear and would miss the entire 2019 season.[40]

2020

[edit]

During the coronavirus pandemic-shortened 2020 season, Pérez played in 37 of 60 games. On August 21, Pérez was placed on the 10-day injured list after experiencing lingering eye problems.[41] He was reinstated on September 11.[42] In 2020, Pérez batted .333/.353/.633 with 11 home runs and 32 RBIs, winning his third Silver Slugger award.[43][44]

2021

[edit]

On March 21, Pérez agreed to a four-year, $82 million contract extension with the Royals that would keep him in Kansas City through the 2025 season. The contract was the largest in franchise history at the time. Pérez would earn $18 million in 2022, $20 million in 2023 and 2024, and $22 million in the 2025 season. The contract included a $13.5 million fifth-year club option for the 2026 season or a $2 million buyout.[45] On April 21, Pérez hit a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth inning to beat the Tampa Bay Rays 9–8.[46] On July 11, Pérez participated in the 2021 MLB Home Run Derby.[47] On August 4, he hit his 27th home run of the season, tying his career high.[48] On August 10, the 10th anniversary of his Major League debut, he hit two home runs against the New York Yankees to give him a new career high of 29 home runs in a season. On August 26 and 27, he hit grand slams on two consecutive nights against the Seattle Mariners.[49] On August 29, he hit his 38th home run of the season, breaking Carlton Fisk's 1985 record for the most total home runs hit in a season by an American League player who was a primary catcher (played at least 50 percent of their games that season at catcher).[50] He also homered in his fifth straight game, matching Mike Sweeney's franchise record set in 2002. On September 20, he hit his 46th home run of the season against the Cleveland Indians, breaking Johnny Bench's 1970 record for the most total home runs hit in a season by a primary catcher and moving him past Sweeney for second place on the all-time list for home runs as a Royal, with 198.[51][52][53] On September 29, he tied teammate Jorge Soler for the Royals record for most home runs in a season, with 48.[54]

Pérez finished the season batting .273/.316/.544 with 48 home runs and a league-leading 121 RBIs, winning his fourth Silver Slugger award.[55] His 48 home runs tied Vladimir Guerrero Jr. of the Toronto Blue Jays for the most in MLB, giving Pérez two-thirds of the batting Triple Crown. As has been the case his whole career, Perez was a free swinger in 2021: he swung at the highest percentage of pitches outside the strike zone of all qualified major leaguers, at 48.3 percent, and the highest percentage of all pitches, at 58.9 percent.[56] He had a career high 170 strikeouts.[4]

2022

[edit]

On May 17, Pérez sprained his left thumb and was ruled out for ten days.[57] On June 24, Pérez had surgery on the ulnar collateral ligament in his left thumb after aggravating the earlier injury in a game versus the Los Angeles Angels on June 21. He was initially ruled out for at least eight weeks, but Royals team staff hoped he could return during the 2022 season.[58] On July 29, Pérez returned to the Royals' lineup versus the New York Yankees.[59] He played in only 114 games in 2022, batting .254/.292/.465 with 23 home runs.

2023

[edit]
Perez in 2023

On March 30, Pérez was named as the Royals' captain, becoming the fourth Royals player to receive the honor.[60] In 2023, he walked in 3.3 percent of plate appearances, the lowest walk percentage in the AL,[61] while batting .255/.292/.422 in 580 plate appearances with 19 walks (6 intentional) and 135 strikeouts.

2024

[edit]

On April 13, Pérez hit his 250th career home run, becoming the 12th primary catcher in AL/NL history to reach that milestone.[62] On July 7, he earned his 1,500th base hit.[63] He finished the season with a career high 44 walks. He batted .271/.330/.456 with 27 home runs and 104 RBI. He ranked first among all qualified American League catchers (minimum 50% games at catcher) in RBIs, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, on-base plus slugging, and extra-base hits, second in batting average and hits, and third in home runs, while winning his fifth Silver Slugger award.[64][65]

Pérez started all six of the Royals' postseason games and had one hit in each of the first five games, including a home run off Carlos Rodón in Game Two of the American League Division Series. He hit .208 with the one extra base hit and RBI, with seven strikeouts and one hit by pitch in 25 plate appearances.[66]

Personal life

[edit]

In the offseason, Pérez resides in his hometown with his wife, Maria Gabriela, sons Salvador Jr. and Johan, and daughter, Paulina. On January 24, 2020, Pérez became naturalized as a U.S. citizen, taking the oath of citizenship at the Royals' annual FanFest.[67]

Pérez is known for wearing perfume during games.[68] Near the end of the 2013 season, teammate Alcides Escobar sprayed Pérez with Victoria's Secret women's perfume and told him he would get four hits, a prediction that came true.[9][69] Pérez's only four-hit game in 2013 was on August 28.[70] Pérez continued to wear perfume during games as a good-luck charm, switching to 212 VIP cologne by Carolina Herrera in 2014[71] and later Invictus by Paco Rabanne.[72]

Pérez delights fans with his positive attitude and humorous postings on social media. In the 2014 and 2015 seasons, Pérez made a habit of playfully pestering teammate Lorenzo Cain by taking videos of him and posting them on Instagram.[73] Pérez is also well known for giving a Gatorade shower ("Salvy Splash") to teammates during television interviews after every home win and notable away wins.[74][75]
