Salvy is defying Father Time

Salvador Perez returned this season rejuvenated, and has gotten off to a sensational start. He leads the league with a .355 batting average, and has the most RBI with 26. Only nine players in baseball have hit more than his seven home runs.
Here is a list of catchers who played at least 20 games in March/April and posted an OPS over 1.000 in their age-34 season or older.
Salvador Perez, Royals (2024) - .355/.415/.598 in 30 games
Gary Carter, Mets (1988) - .333/.432/.682 in 20 games
That’s it. That’s the list.
The last catcher to post a 1.000 OPS (min. 20 games started) in ANY month in their age-34 season or older was Jorge Posada in September of 2007.
