by Robert Finkelstein | Royals Correspondent | Sun, Mar 29th 1:01pm EDT
Perez finished 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Braves.
Fantasy Impact:
In the top of the 7th inning, Perez blasted a 390-foot solo home run to left-center field off Reynaldo López. The hit registered an impressive 105.8 mph exit velocity with a 27° launch angle, signaling that the veteran's raw power is fully intact as he enters his age-36 season. Through the first two games of the 2026 regular season, Perez has recorded one hit in each game, currently sitting with a .250 average and an .875 OPS. His ability to log games at first base and DH ensures he stays in the lineup nearly every day. Following a 2025 campaign where he hit 30 home runs and drove in 100 RBIs, Perez’s first homer of the season reinforces his floor.
