Paul Goldschmidt is the best homegrown talent to ever go through the Diamondbacks system. Goldy was very underrated as a prospect due to his unparalleled work ethic and whatever flaws people saw in his game, he got better at. Goldschmidt has developed into one of the game’s most feared hitters from the right side of the plate. Goldschmidt in five-plus seasons has hit .299/.398/.525 with 198 doubles, 140 HR, 597 RBI, and 99 SB. In his career he’s posted a 145 wRC+ and 29.0 WAR, which is just short of a Hall of Fame rate in my opinion.
The most frequent comparison for Goldy is the recently elected Jeff Bagwell (149 wRC+).
