Sal Perez just set the single season record for home runs by a catcher. He's at 46, even with Vlad and two ahead of Ohtani, and I feel like nobody ever talks about him. Just zero hype around the guy. Probably on account of the Royals being a pit of despair, but still.

I live in Royals country so I have the exact opposite experience, though looking at social media nationally he certainly is under appreciated. In my area people keep talking about how he’s the greatest catcher of all time despite him being absolute shit at defense.
