Salvador Perez Wallows In Slump
7 years agoKansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez isn't the only Royals player who is struggling at the plate right now, but even amongst a slumping team, his slump stands out. Perez is just 4-for-34 over his last eight games with zero walks. His .116 batting average/on-base percentage is further compounded by a 29.4% strikeout rate. He's gotten even worse recently as he's struck out in 42.9% of his at-bats in his last five games and only knocked two hits in 21 at-bats. Perez will eventually pull out of the tailspin, but for now, he looks lost at the plate.
