Everyone already keeps their eyes on Goldy anyway, but it’s fun to break down his impressive numbers as the season continues.
During the Colorado series this week, Goldy collected 3 hits, 3 RBIs and scored 3 runs. He continues to build upon his .355 average for the month of June.
He’s hitting .354 overall this season with 20 homers and 60 RBIs. He also owns an OPS of 1.127. His offensive numbers are the best on the Arizona squad and his average is the highest in all of baseball.
Against San Diego last weekend, Goldy picked up three hits, three RBIs and two stolen bases.
Goldy also leads the NL first basemen in All-Star votes with over 5 million. No doubt he’ll be starting on the first base bag in Cincinnati later next month.
