Paul Goldschmidt has always hit. But mired in a career-worst start, his ability to bounce back will have major ramifications for the Cardinals — and the 36-year-old former MVP.
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Hitless in his first 32 at-bats of the month, in danger of recording the first five-strikeout game of his decorated 14-year career when he stepped to the plate representing the tying run with two outs in the ninth inning this past Saturday, Paul Goldschmidt laced his hardest hit in two weeks. The 103.
But it's actually Goldschmidt's final year in Arizona — in 2018, before he joined the Cardinals — that comes to mind for Carpenter. That year included some eerie similarities. Goldschmidt started that May in an 0-for-24 skid, then 7-for-73. On May 22, 2018, he was slashing just .198/.320/.355 … and he still finished the year sixth in MVP voting with a 142 OPS+. While that might be the closest comparison to what he's going through now, there have been other notable skids.
