Salvador Perez: 45 home runs! But only 30 as catcher; 15 as DH. Who says catching 75% of games is OK to say all count as a catcher? Saturday, September 18, 2021

Salvador Perez hit home run number 45 for the season...

ironically, Perez was the designated hitter for the entire game in which he hit number 45 and supposedly tied a supposed record held by Johnny Bench ...

I've had my position for years. If you hit the home run when you were catching it counts as that. Otherwise, it doesn't.
