I’ll provide the stat line of a participant within the American League that I feel you may discover spectacular (league rating in parenthesis):
- .320 common (1st)
- .912 OPS (sixth)
- 41 RBI (third)
- 66 hits (fifth)
- High 10 in doubles, OBP, SLG %
Not too shabby, proper? Most likely even MVP-worthy. I might enterprise a guess that you just’d suppose this was the again of a baseball card for Mike Trout or Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
Imagine it or not this man is a 34-year-old catcher who’s been to eight All-Star Video games however by no means completed increased than seventh within the MVP balloting. It’s excessive time Salvador Perez will get some MVP love as a result of the Royals backstop is having arguably the very best all-around season of his Corridor-of-Fame-caliber profession.
