Today on the[URL='https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/effectively-wild-a-fangraphs-baseball-podcast/id545919715?i=1000510443222'] Effectively Wild[/URL] podcast, they mentioned that Perez is a polarizing figure regarding defense. He has a reputation for being a good defensive catcher and has won gold gloves. The metrics suggest that he is bad. The big difference is that he does well in traditional measures like blocking balls and throwing out runners, but is among the worst in pitch framing (a skill organizations have begun to value over anything else). His WAR is about two points higher at [URL='https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/p/perezsa02.shtml']Baseball Reference[/URL] than it is at [URL='https://www.fangraphs.com/players/salvador-perez/7304/stats?position=C']Fangraphs[/URL] and [URL='https://www.baseballprospectus.com/player/57335/salvador-perez/']Baseball Prospectus [/URL]because the former does not include pitch framing in its WAR calculations.

I have no point to make other than that I find it interesting.
