Paul Goldschmidt News
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt tallied four hits across two games against the New York Mets Tuesday, including a homer and two doubles. He scored one run and drove in three. Goldschmidt now has a ten-game hit streak to his name, with six multi-hit performances in that span. He's slashing .321/.397/.530 with five home runs, 22 runs scored, 23 RBI, and three steals in 151 plate appearances this season. These numbers only represent a slight improvement over Goldschmidt's career marks, and there is no reason to think his production will slow down in the coming months.
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is taking the day off on Sunday in the series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Meanwhile, third baseman Nolan Arenado will return to third base after serving a one-game suspension on Saturday. Arenado is hitting cleanup against Diamondbacks right-hander Zach Davies. Goldschmidt snapped an eight-game hitting streak on Saturday, but he's been solid this year with a .282 average, one home run and 10 RBI in his first 20 games. Albert Pujols is at first base and is hitting fifth, while Corey Dickerson serves as the designated hitter and bats sixth. Arenado should be back in all starting lineups Sunday. He's gone 27-for-72 with five home runs, 17 RBI and 11 runs scored in 19 games so far in 2022.
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt got on base three times during Monday's 5-2 defeat against the New York Mets. The 34-year-old was 2-for-5, both singles, with one walk. It brought Goldschmidt's average up to .259, and he's getting on base at a .348 clip. However, his OPS is a lowly .676 as he's still searching for his first home run. Goldschmidt hasn't hit less than 31 HRs over his last four full seasons, so the power drought is surprising. Even with the goose egg in that department, he's still providing value with his two stolen bases and eight runs scored across 15 games. It's too early for fantasy managers to panic, and the veteran should still rack up at least 20 home runs by season's end.

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt has proven to be a solid, albeit unspectacular fantasy producer over his two years in St. Louis. Goldschmidt, who turned 33 this past September, is no longer worth consideration in the first few rounds of drafts, but he's a reliable and consistent target to have your eye on at the start of the middle rounds. Goldschmidt slashed .304/.417/.466 with six home runs, 21 RBI and 31 runs over 58 games in 2020. Last year, he had a notable power drop off from 2019, when he hit 34 home runs. His home run to fly ball rate fell from 19.9% in 2019 to 10.7% in 2020. He also saw some slight decreases in his barrel-rate and hard-hit rate last year. However, he improved upon his plate discipline in 2020, lowering his strikeout rate from 24.3% in 2019 to 18.6% in 2020 while raising his batting average from .260 in 2019 to .304 last year. Goldschmidt should be able to provide sufficient numbers across the board in 2021 with a solid shot at reaching 30 home runs for the sixth time in his career. With first base being less stacked these days than in seasons prior, he provides an additional positional asset. Have him on your radar in the seventh round of drafts, especially if you're planning on taking some higher risk players with some earlier picks.
