Salvador Pérez had a historic performance at the plate in Sunday's contest between the Kansas City Royals and the Seattle Mariners. The three-time Silver Slugger recipient clubbed a solo home run in the top of the sixth inning, marking his fifth straight contest with a longball. In addition, this blast was Salvador's 38th of the 2021 season, which is the most for a catcher in a single season in American League history. The previous record of 37 was held by Carlton Fisk. In order to qualify for this record, 75 percent of your games played in the record year must be played at catcher.
