2025 Player Outlook
While fantasy managers will appreciate Perez's dual-eligibility, his fantasy output is best maximized behind the dish. He's swatted 23+ home runs in four straight seasons, and his 2024 season was the closest he's been to his magical 2021 season. Fantasy managers in OBP leagues are likely very well aware of his 6.7 percent walk rate, as that was far and away the best mark he's posted in the last decade. Health willing, your "catcher" will play in 140+ games for the third straight season, and the sheer number of ABs from Perez in an intriguing Kansas City lineup makes him a top five fantasy catcher itself. Despite his age, expect another 25+ homer campaign with 85+ RBI.
