I can keep telling you how hot he is, but I will let the statistics do the talking. Nolan Arenado will need to be a better contact and two-strike hitter, or Paul Goldschmidt is likely to see less and less pitches. St. Louis Cardinals manager, Oli Marmol must seriously consider moving Arenado ahead of Paul.
| PAUL GOLDSCHMIDT | RUNS | HITS | AVERAGE | OPS | HOMERUN | RBI | WAR | BB | 2B | SLG |
| STAT | 56 | 95 | .347 | 1.071 | 19 | 64 | 4.3 | 40 | 24 | .642 |
| NL RANK | 1st | 1st | 1st | 1st | 3rd | 2nd | 1st | 5th | 2nd | 1st |
It would be hard to keep this up, but for fun let’s look at Paul Goldschmidt’s 2022 pace.
Runs: 119
Hits: 203
Homerun: 41
RBI: 136
WAR: 9.17
BB: 85
2B: 51
That’s an MVP season if I’ve ever seen one.
