I have been saying this for years, the man is consistently a top tier 1b with the bat and the glove, and no one talks about him, same thing with Jose Ramierz
I have always said this. People forget he was a 6(?) time all star CONSECUTIVELY before 2019. I’m a die hard Dodgers fan and this man always tore us apart single-handed.
and top 3 mvp three times lol oh and fun facts .291 with 162 hits, 33 homers, 103 RBIs and 93 runs scored in 146 games versus the Dodgers in his career. ^^his stats against the Dodgers, .890 ops
Spot on. Like legit he was definitely already on pace to deserve it (and have a strong chance of getting in) but this year and if it’s repeatable even a couple times he’s an easy lock
More like if he wins an MVP this year he'll go from no shot to maybe on the bubble. If he retired at the end of the season he wouldn't come close, MVP or no MVP. If he starts to decline like 35 year old sluggers decline then he has no shot. He would have to have at least 2 more healthy years that are very close to as good as 2022. Then 2 or 3 more solid years after that. At that point he would have a better than 50/50 chance at getting in the HoF. There are no circumstances in this timeline where he's a HoF lock. You're really underestimating how hard it is to make it into the HoF. Only about 1.5 percent of MLB players make it. It's closer to 1 percent of position players. There are only 10 or so future HoF players in MLB at any given moment. Pujols, Verlander, Scherzer, Trout, Kershaw, Cabrera, Greinke, and Molina are all going to get in at some point. That's it. There are no other locks. There are a bunch of really great players who are either close to retiring and firmly on the bubble or are on track to make it but have work to do. Votto is so on the bubble it's insane. Harper, Betts, and Altuve are all getting close to cementing themselves as HoFers. Then there are guys like Acuna, Soto, Guerrero, Machado, and Ohtani who are HoF talents but don't have close to a HoF resume yet. The bar is really, REALLY high. It's really, REALLY hard to make it. To think Goldschmidt had a 75 percent chance before the season of getting in is delusional. It's delusional to think he's got even a 50 percent chance right now.
Living near Baltimore, I never thought I’d be able to see Goldschmidt play live. Near the end of the 2016 season the diamondbacks came and played a series in Baltimore. I was at all 3 games, he didn’t make much of an impact in that series, but to see my favorite player at the time up close in person was pretty cool. I wouldn’t be surprised if his career numbers end up looking a lot like Jeff Bagwell’s when it’s all said and done.
Aside from all the praise he gets from teammates and others about pretty much every aspect of his game that doesn't show up in a box score, we gotta acknowledge that he's simply one of the nicest, most selfless players in the game. Not flashy, and he let's his results speak for themselves.
Since Trout's debut season, 2011, Kershaw and Scherzer both have ~10 more fWAR, while Posey is around 2 higher and Verlander 1 lower. 2 WAR is easily within margin of error, but 10 is not. You could argue for Goldy to be fourth, but Trout, Kershaw, and Mad Max are clearly ahead imo. I'd personally have him sixth behind the five mentioned above, but that's still damn good
As a Cardinals fan I always remember seeing what he was doing for the Dbacks and thinking he would make the perfect first baseman in STL…and that’s pretty much what he has been this year especially lol, perfect!
What a genuinely nice person. I live near St. Louis, and am a HUGE baseball fan. Whey you talk about the "Cardinal Way", it starts with players like Goldy, Matt Holliday, Chris Carpenter, and others.
As a dbacks fan you love to see goldy finally get the national recognition he deserves. Always underrated but I knew once he went to st Louis people would know his name
This has been one of my favorite baseball videos I've EVER watched. From the research, to the presentation and just overall flow of the video, this was extremely entertaining and informative!
Him being a part of the Cardinals will help his candidacy. If someone is a major player in the Cardinals, Dodgers, Yankees, and Boston organizations they're almost on a fast track to the HoF.
You got it right at the beginning, Cards and D-Backs fans knew. I'm a Cards fan, and when I heard about the Goldschmidt deal, I knew it'd end up well on our end. MVP or not, he's been worth it, now if only the Cardinals can make a deep run in the playoffs with him. I say if he wins the MVP, and has another top-5 MVP season, the only thing he can do to solidify his place in the Hall is with a WS win where he's a centerpiece or leader of the team.
It's a blessing to have this man on my favorite baseball team. I remember early 2021 he was in a bit of a funk, but got out of it and was on a tear for the final months of the season. He was awesome during that historic win streak as well. Not even being biased, but he's got my vote NL MVP.
Definitely NL MVP front runner. Quietly crushes. Ya love to see it, also his swing reminds me so much of Mike Trout, just a slower version for some reason.
I think both Goldschmidt and Arenado are the kind of players i think of when i think of the Cardinals franchise. They always have these studs that are so humble and so level headed
I’ve loved Goldy since I saw him playing with guys like Miguel Montero, AJ Pollock, and Justin Upton. It was always my favorite time of the year when we’d go out to Arizona to see family and get to watch the Diamondbacks play
Those early 2010s Dbacks teams were fun to watch. My personal favorite player was Aaron Hill but Goldy was the GOAT. That Goldy trade will probably go down with the dansby trade in worst trades in Dbacks history.
@@glaceo_o229 it definitely has to go down as one of the worst in dbacks history. Out of the 3 players Arizona received, Carson Kelly is the only one still a dback.
@@glaceo_o229 The reason why they traded Goldy is because he was asking for alot more money than the D-backs Front Office was willing to spend and we weren't anywhere close to be a contender. Our previous front office had gutted our farm system and we needed more players. As a fan, I would have loved if they had kept Goldy but our front office is a bunch of cheapskates and trade any decent player for peanuts. I long for the day when we get a new owner.
He was one of my favorite players back in the day and it’s crazy he’s getting back into his prime, you did a really good job with this video, good editing, background noise, knowledge, you can tell a lot of research and practice went into this video, you did a great job.
I get to watch this man every day and every day I am just shell shocked at how good he is. Not only does he hit for power but he is not afraid to take the ball the other way and he simply does not seem to strike out very much. Games in which he goes 2-5 seems like a bad day at the office for him. Absolutely unreal. Should definitely win the MVP and if he keeps it up, HoF.
@SportStorm, first of all, love your videos, keep up the great work! Second, as a Cardinals fan thank you for this video! But I what I really want to ask is for a video on the 2019 Yanks-Sox London game and how crazy that was, true underrated classic in my opinion, deserves some analysis
What people sometimes forget is that the cardinals and cubs were scheduled to play in London in 2020 but the pandemic had other plans and the series got shelved unfortunately.
I always thought he was underrated and I’m glad people are starting to notice. Side note: when you showed WAR since 2010 it is crazy how high Trout is and that is with a couple of injury seasons, insane.
Watching Goldy you get the feeling that any time he comes to the plate, he’s going to make something happen no matter what. And in the field he seems to always make the right play. Haven’t had this much confidence in a player for the Cards since Pujols in the mid 2000s. It was like, if we can just get Albert to the plate one more time we can win this game. That’s how it feels a lot of times with Goldy now. Just fundamentally sound and so much fun to watch. Lucky to have him as a leader on the Cardinals in a time where it’s so damn hard to compete with the Dodgers, Braves, etc.
In AZ the humidor reduced his power to center and right center resulting in a more pull focused approach. Turner ward his hitting coach in his early dback seasons is now with the cards and his influence shows
Just found your channel, reminds me a lot about Foolish Baseball who I also really enjoy! Keep it up man, your content is great 👍 (congrats on landing the SeatGeek sponsor)
An MVP award this year, seals it. I don’t see how you can keep him out justifiably if he ends up with 65-70 or more WAR (Miggy at 69 or so - seen as sure lock, deservingly so). Hope he hangs on this year and gets the spotlight he deserves!
@@pranavarora9976 Scott Rolen was a great defender, just slightly above average offensively. Goldie is ++ in both categories. And that Triple Crown chance..
You’re missing one of the biggest factors as to why he is so good and helps his case better than most other statistics; his durability, especially in this day and age. He currently sits at 15th with most games played among active players. The 14 players who have played more games are only there because they have been in the league longer. I.E Pujols, Molina, Cabrera, Votto, Cruz, etc. He’s an overlooked player and that is probably one of the most overlooked stats for his case, yet it’s YUGE
HoF? Damn really? He's pretty good but better than Tino? Palmerio, will Clark, steve Garvey? Not a chance.. he's not on Garvey, not a will Clark, definitely no Bagwell. Hell he's not the best today, that's Freedie, no Thome. Affects hof 0... that's the case Murphy, Dave Henderson Bonds and Andrew Jones should be in before him
@@jonathanwashington9199 100% with the cards.. he's had way to many issues out west even though he hit career marks there.. could always do the Gaylord Perry, have a hat with each team he played for... same for Bonds, he really had 3 careers, Pittsburgh, San Francisco until 98, then after 98.. each is no doubt a top 5 all time player in numbers... I wasn't his fan, Griffey was my guy but the call up story of Bonds is Hof worthy alone.. BP Bonds hit 5 in a row out, coach says any player today can pull 5, Bonds 5 consecutive opposite fields hrs.. made team outta spring that season.. you don't hear that anymore
@@jonathanwashington9199 Why Do You Feel The Need To Capitalize The First Letter Of Every Word? It Comes Across As If You're A 12 Year Old, Nothing Wrong With That If You Are But You Really Should Break The Habit Of Typing Like This Also, Goldie is 100% going HoF. Drew Jones crashed way too hard in his final years, that's hurt him. Goldie is looking really solid for MVP this year, not to mention he's looking extremely close to Triple Crown. One season doesn't get you into HoF, but Goldie has been this consistent his entire career. No question, he's going to be in HoF.
One of my all time favorite players, would love to see him win MVP. As of tonite he's up to 341, 31HRs, 100 RBI! Monster Numbers with plenty of games left.
great video! @ 0:58 you say Paul has a 71.8% chance of making the HOF based on the proportion of players who made/didn’t make the hall with similar stats. I’d say it’s higher! ARod, Manny, and McGuire are HOFers not allowed in due to steroids. And Albert Pujols is first ballot.
Growing up on the west coast in a Giants household I distinctly remember everyone being scared of Goldy more than anyone else, Lincecum still wakes up in a cold sweat because of him.
Really? Listen to a Cards game when he's announcing. He'll tell you many times how good he was... the man is the exact opposite of a humble Goldie. Wish we had traded him before the deadline....
56 WAR in 12 seasons is definitely HOF level production. For context, Miguel Cabrera is at 68 in 20 seasons. And Mike Trout is at 80 over 12 seasons.....
SRS butterfly idea Johan Santana's trade to the Mets led to the Padres getting Soto Johan Santana was traded for Carlos Gómez among others J.J. Hardy was traded for Carlos Gómez in 2009 Hardy in 2010 was traded to the Orioles Manny Machado came up with the Orioles, moves to 3rd base because Hardy was at shortstop Machado signed a massive contract with the Padres because of his career success at 3rd base Machado is married to Yonder Alonso's sister, she took a picture of Soto and Machado standing next to each other at the all-star game and sent it to Yonder Yonder sent it to AJ Preller saying how good of a one-two combo it would be Preller trades for Soto
no one talks about him because he played for the dbacks and then came to a fly over state to play for the cardinals. Unfortunately he's not on a coastal team so everyone forgets about him. But he's consistently been a top tier player his whole career. Glad he's finally getting some recognition...even though he'll stoically deflect any praise lol
He is a fun player to watch. I have been this SEASON to six Cardinal games and he hit a homer in each of them. Cardinals win or lose, GOLDIE exerts his best effort both in defense ( saving errors by making it an OUT at first) and offense with his HIGH BASEBALL IQ! I would NOT BET against him.
My favorite thing about the guy is when he was in Arizona a teammate was asked to say something mean about him and I can not remember who it was but he said "I can't well I guess he takes bad BP. No bad boring. Working the middle and going the other way."
He homered in game 1 of a double header today and I'm gonna see him do it again in game 2 I imagine 😅 super secret under the radar HoFer for sure. The Cards got him for a paper clip and pocket-lint to make it even crazier!
As a Cardinal fan I love having him there and I agree he's a possible HOF'er. One thing I did notice on the player lists shown is Jim Edmonds name repeatedly showing up. A player I think fell off the ballot WAY to soon. I would have thought he'd gradually make his way up to the 75% mark.
Totally agree Edmonds got taken off way too soon. I think being under 2,000 hits and 400 home runs sealed it for those old timers voting on counting stats. Had he managed to just stay a bit more healthy he would’ve been a lock
Although I personally think he will be a hall of famer, he needs to have 2-3 more seasons of similar production to put himself over the edge. He already has the rate stats (ops and homers per 162, rbis per 162, extra base hits and average) to be a hall of famer. However, if he doesn’t push his way well past the 2000 hit mark, it may be hard for writers to put him in. I think that if he does win MVP this year, it is only a matter of him racking up counting stats that will get him in or not
He's only 34 and he hasn't started to seriously decline yet. Barring a disastrous injury or his abilities inexplicably falling off a cliff next season, he shouldn't have too much trouble putting the finishing touches on his HoF resume within the next few years.
I have been saying this for years, the man is consistently a top tier 1b with the bat and the glove, and no one talks about him, same thing with Jose Ramierz

Really? Listen to a Cards game when he's announcing. He'll tell you many times how good he was... the man is the exact opposite of a humble Goldie. Wish we had traded him before the deadline....
Goldschmid went to our school, the woodlands, and its pretty sick to walk by his jersey everyday.
I literally look at Goldy's baseball reference page every day. Love this man!
56 WAR in 12 seasons is definitely HOF level production. For context, Miguel Cabrera is at 68 in 20 seasons.
And Mike Trout is at 80 over 12 seasons.....
SRS butterfly idea
Johan Santana's trade to the Mets led to the Padres getting Soto
Johan Santana was traded for Carlos Gómez among others
J.J. Hardy was traded for Carlos Gómez in 2009
Hardy in 2010 was traded to the Orioles
Manny Machado came up with the Orioles, moves to 3rd base because Hardy was at shortstop
Machado signed a massive contract with the Padres because of his career success at 3rd base
Machado is married to Yonder Alonso's sister, she took a picture of Soto and Machado standing next to each other at the all-star game and sent it to Yonder
Yonder sent it to AJ Preller saying how good of a one-two combo it would be
Preller trades for Soto
Goldschmidt has my favorite batting stance out of any current player. And it looks like it takes no effort when he hits the ball.
no one talks about him because he played for the dbacks and then came to a fly over state to play for the cardinals. Unfortunately he's not on a coastal team so everyone forgets about him. But he's consistently been a top tier player his whole career. Glad he's finally getting some recognition...even though he'll stoically deflect any praise lol
He’s one of the most complete hitters I’ve seen in a very long time
He's probably the most complete hitter I've seen for the Cardinals since Pujols in his prime.
Goldy and the HOF go together like SportStorm and b roll footage of baseball numbers going to towards the screen
He is the most fundamentally sound baseball player I personally have ever seen. If he isn't a manager or coach some day I'll be disappointed.
I remember the first time I looked at his Baseball Reference page back in 2018 and was like 'wow, he's actually amazing, how have I not heard of him'
He needs this MVP. He deserves it with the dominance he’s shown this year
Babe wake up new SportStorm
😂😂😂
Grabbing that MVP is huge.
Paul Goldschmidt is such a consistently good player. I’m a sucker for overlooked stars, and hope he wins the NL MVP.
I bought a goldschmidt jersey few years ago, hes a gamer and hes so good one of my favs, great video
I got to see that homerun in person it was amazing cause of his reaction not thinking it was gone
Congrats on getting Soto sportstorm I know you’re excited these games between my dodgers and the padres hopefully should be more exciting now
Sportstorm didn't get Soto...
We love Goldy in St. Louis. He's a surefire HOFer. (Sidenote; It's criminal that Edmonds isn't in.)
Exactly! Nobody talks about him as a future hall of famer. I’ve been savoring his career since 2018 when I realized he’ll have a good shot.
He is a fun player to watch. I have been this SEASON to six Cardinal games and he hit a homer in each of them. Cardinals win or lose, GOLDIE exerts his best effort both in defense ( saving errors by making it an OUT at first) and offense with his HIGH BASEBALL IQ! I would NOT BET against him.
You should do a video on how we changed his bat this season which helped him a lot
fantastic video, been saying this for a while and very happy he's starting to get the credit he deserves
11:02 You can see me stand up just above the Big Mac Land L
A throwback to the days where first base was your powerbat.
Goldschmidt and Arenado are already HOF. Enjoy the process!
We've felt that way that in Arizona for years now. Goldie is great
When you going to make a video on Ryan Helsley?
Great video!
Isn’t it weird how closely Votto’s offensive stats mirror Larry Walker’s? Their also both Canadian which cannot be a coincidence.
Absolutely love and treasure Goldy
Adrian Beltre being on the list at the end even though he hasn’t played since 2018 is wild.
My favorite thing about the guy is when he was in Arizona a teammate was asked to say something mean about him and I can not remember who it was but he said "I can't well I guess he takes bad BP. No bad boring. Working the middle and going the other way."
Can you please do a video on the Yankees second half slump? Would really love to see your analytical break down
Paaaaaauuuuullllll Golllllllddddddddshhhhidt im the number 1 Paul Fan
Goldschmidt was always nice and still is. He’s just mad underrated
You can say he's a guy who's really quite goes about his business but he's very effective he's like a ninja.
He homered in game 1 of a double header today and I'm gonna see him do it again in game 2 I imagine 😅 super secret under the radar HoFer for sure. The Cards got him for a paper clip and pocket-lint to make it even crazier!
Sadly nope, but Tyler and NolA did!!! Go cards
Nice video!👍🏼👍🏼
As a Cardinal fan I love having him there and I agree he's a possible HOF'er. One thing I did notice on the player lists shown is Jim Edmonds name repeatedly showing up. A player I think fell off the ballot WAY to soon. I would have thought he'd gradually make his way up to the 75% mark.
Totally agree Edmonds got taken off way too soon. I think being under 2,000 hits and 400 home runs sealed it for those old timers voting on counting stats. Had he managed to just stay a bit more healthy he would’ve been a lock
You should do a video on this outfielder named Michael Trout on the Anaheim Angels of California. If he stays healthy, he's got potential I think.
I been telling people since his Arizona days he was gonna be a hall of gamer for sure
Although I personally think he will be a hall of famer, he needs to have 2-3 more seasons of similar production to put himself over the edge. He already has the rate stats (ops and homers per 162, rbis per 162, extra base hits and average) to be a hall of famer. However, if he doesn’t push his way well past the 2000 hit mark, it may be hard for writers to put him in. I think that if he does win MVP this year, it is only a matter of him racking up counting stats that will get him in or not
He's only 34 and he hasn't started to seriously decline yet. Barring a disastrous injury or his abilities inexplicably falling off a cliff next season, he shouldn't have too much trouble putting the finishing touches on his HoF resume within the next few years.
I’ve seen Longoria in the top 10 of like 3 stat sheets in this video 😮💨💯
Reminds me of Joey Votto. Just goes out and does his job.
I don't think it's that quiet honestly. He's just been flat out crazy powerful, and above all else, consistent.
Love the videos
Thank you!
The Cardinals have at least 5 HOFers right now 😮
it would be nice if you could make a video about the giants 2021 season
Goldy's hit 4 home runs in the last three games I attended in person.
