2025 Fantasy Outlook
Perez has now hit at least 20 homers in each of the last eight full seasons, a run last seen by a cather when Brian McCann had a similar run from 2008-2016. McCann went onto hit 37 homers over the course of his final three seasons as all those years of volume catching caught up to him. It is a lesson which Kansas City has given credence to as Perez has kept his games played at catcher between 77 and 91 games since a recent peak of 124 games in 2021. Perez retains his first base eligibility from 2023 as the Royals look to keep his bat in the lineup while keeping him fresh as long as possible. The effort was well-intended, but the midwest summer heat is tough to beat and Perez saw his 125 first half wRC+ fall to 101 in the second half. William Contreras was the only catcher to outproduce Perez in fantasy value last season and we see little reason why Perez will not once again attempt to best that list in 2025. This time around, his ADP is not going to be a triple-digit number. Read Past Outlooks
