| Salvador Perez hitting, just not for power |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(5/5/13) It's nice to see Royals catcher Salvador Perez stringing together hits. Many Fantasy owners took a big stake in Perez during the preseason and have yet to see the rewards, so for Perez to provide a promising batting average is encouraging.
While Perez is batting .338 (23 for 68) in his last 19 games, I still caution Fantasy owners to keep expectations in check. As I wrote in the preseason, I didn't believe in Perez's home run numbers early in his MLB career and I still don't. Perez was more of a gap hitter in the minors and his 13.1 percent home run to fly ball ratio last season, per FanGraphs.com, was definitely high for him. This season, Perez's HR/FB ratio is 5.6 percent, which is definitely closer to what can be expected.
Perez can be serviceable as a low-end starter in deep mixed leagues. But I'm not shocked by his lack of power through the first month of the season.

| Salvador Perez was a relative unknown when he burst onto the scene with a .331 batting average during a late-season trial in 2011, but the Royals bought into him right away, locking him up to a long-term deal. He then promptly tore the meniscus in his left knee and had to have surgery, sidelining him for about half of 2012. Fortunately, when he finally returned in late June, he demonstrated the same exceptional contact rate that allowed him to hit over .300 as a rookie, striking out just once in his first 32 at-bats. His ability to put bat on ball is unprecedented in this day and age, particularly for a catcher, and all but guarantees he'll deliver a high batting average. To put it in perspective, even though his BABIP was a relatively unimpressive .299 in 2012, he still managed to hit .301. And it's not like he's a one-trick pony. His 11 home runs in 76 games would translate to about 20 over a full season. Given how advanced he is as a hitter, the 22-year-old has the potential to develop into a force once he peaks physically. He's pretty good even now -- maybe not Buster Posey good or even Matt Wieters good, but right in that next tier. His lack of walks may irk some Head-to-Head owners, but otherwise, Perez is a safe and exciting pick in the middle rounds. (Updated 12/7/12) |
