Paul Goldschmidt Better Than Ever With New York Yankees
Jun 3, 2025
Aaron Judge might get most of the headlines with the New York Yankees.
Deservedly so.
Judge is a phenomenal talent, who is on a tear this season.
Before the Yankees series opener with the Cleveland Guardians June 3, Judge is hitting a whopping .391/.485/.764/.1.248, with 21 homers and 50 RBIs in 262 plate appearances.
But Judge isn’t alone in creating havoc in the Yankees lineup.
First baseman Paul Goldschmidt, 37, may be in the midst of his best year ever.
Prior to the Yankees series with Cleveland, Goldschmidt has hit .333/.388/.486/.874, with six homers, and 28 RBIs in 238 plate appearances.
The Yankees have a 5.5 game lead in the American League East.
The dual threats of Judge and Goldschmidt can help erase the sting of Yankees fans losing Juan Soto to the cross-town New York Mets.
At 6-2, 225 pounds, “Goldy” doesn’t have overwhelming size.
He does, however, get plenty of strength from a proven, measured swing that has served him well for all of his 15-year career.
Goldschmidt was an 8th round pick of the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 2009 MLB draft.
A six time All Star with Arizona, Goldschmidt played parts of eight seasons with the Diamondbacks, compiling a .297 batting average in 4,708 plate appearances. He hit 209 home runs, and drove in 710 in that span.
Goldschmidt also made the All Star team with the 2022 Cardinals.
