As of this writing, Perez is still with Kansas City and has been named an All-Star in nine of them. To date, Perez has been a Gold Glove winner five times and had a Defensive bWAR over 2.0 three times. The Venezuelan has shown some good power (though awful On Base Percentage with a career OBP under .300) with two runs of four straight 20 Home Run seasons and five Silver Sluggers.
The heart of the team that won the 2015 World Series (he was the World Series MVP), Perez, who had to sit out the entire 2019 season due to injury, came back at peak form in the COVID-19 2020 season, where he was named an All-MLB 1 Selection, with a third Silver Slugger. In 2021, he had best offensive year, where not only did he repeat as a Silver Slugger, and All-MLB 1 player, he won his first Home Run Title with 48 taters, along with his first RBI Championship (121). Entering 2024, Perez has 273 Home Runs, nine All-Stars and is already a team icon.
If he stays healthy, he should be able to make the top five of this list.
