The implementation of the ABS challenge system in Major League Baseball has provided the opportunity for Royals catcher Salvador Perez to display yet another elite skill. Through this point of the season, Perez has been successful on 27 of his 35 challenges behind the plate, which makes him the third best signal-caller in baseball. Which sort of makes sense considering how many pitches the 36-year-old has received over the years.
Perez, who is known to have some fun back there, was positioned in front of home plate umpire Laz Diaz on Monday night as Kansas City hosted the Red Sox. And in the top of the fifth, things got very interesting.
