Since making his major-league debut Aug. 1, 2011, Paul Goldschmidt has been the face of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Goldschmidt, known as “America’s First Basemen,” has said this spring that he had “off year” in 2016, but the 29-year-old was not the only high-profile player that underperformed. Goldschmidt finished with a .297 batting average, 24 home runs, and 95 RBI.
Compared to 2015, his production was down, but the four-time all-star played in 158 games and stole 32 bases, an unprecedented amount for a slugger.
Over the last two years for the Arizona Diamondbacks, Goldschmidt is second in OBP (.
