Paul Goldschmidt, Cardinals

Goldschmidt has long been one of the league’s best players, making six All-Star teams, winning four Silver Sluggers, three Gold Gloves, and finishing in the top-six in NL MVP voting four times from 2013-18. It shows how good a player he is when last year was considered a down season with numbers including 34 home runs, 97 runs, 97 RBIs, and an .821 OPS.
