Paul Goldschmidt has been the unluckiest hitter in baseball in 2021 but his luck began to turn at the end of the first half.
The duo of Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt was expected to take the St. Louis Cardinals’ offense to new levels in 2021, perhaps even making it a top 5 unit in baseball. But while Arenado has been very good to start the season, Goldschmidt struggled through the vast majority of games.
