Scouting Report: Roberto Pérez
Chicago Cubs | C
Overall
Summary
Salvador Perez, 35-year-old Kansas City Royals catcher, is nursing a sore hip that has limited his catching duties since May 1. He has been serving primarily as designated hitter while rookie Carter Jensen handles catching responsibilities. Manager Matt Quatraro indicated Perez will likely remain at DH going forward and is being monitored daily. Perez is struggling offensively with a .206 batting average, .245 OBP, and .593 OPS through 36 games, though he showed some recent improvement with a .295 average over his last 11 games (13-for-44 with 2 HR, 2 doubles, 11 RBI). Durability concerns are mounting for the 15-year veteran as age-related decline appears evident.
Strengths
- Leadership and game-planning experience (15 years in majors)
- Recent offensive improvement (.295 average in last 11 games)
