Paul Goldschmidt
One could say that Paul Goldschmidt has had his best season in 2021 since joining the Cardinals in a trade. He ended the regular season hitting .294/.365/.514 with an OPS of .879. He’s had 31 home runs, 99 RBI, and 12 stolen bases.
He was amazingly clutch for the Cardinals during their historic 17-game winning streak – launching towering home runs in New York, Milwaukee, Chicago, and at home in St. Louis. You could tell the usually reserved man was relaxing and having fun with his young teammates who look up to him and want to model what he does to prepare. Goldschmidt’s wall is down, he is having fun and he wants this fun to continue.
The end of the 2021 regular season hints that we will see a huge performance from Goldschmidt in the playoffs. Here’s hoping we see what Goldschmidt is fully capable of doing. Here’s hoping Goldschmidt, too, will have an October to remember.
Here’s hoping things come up golden for Goldschmidt and the Cardinals on Wednesday and through October! Let’s go, Cardinals!
