Over/Under: Albert Pujols GIDP 22.5
Albert Pujols sets a new career MLB record every time he grounds into a double play. He’s hit into 362 thus far in his Hall of Fame career and that number can be expected to climb in 2019.
That GIDP figure is a testament both to Pujols longevity (17 years in the league) and also to his bat being in the middle of the order and getting a lot of opportunities to hit into double plays. Well, with Mike Scioscia at the helm, one can expect Albert’s bat to continue to get double play....err RBI opportunities.
Will he hit into as many double plays as his career yearly average?
