Goldschmidt, Turang, Paxton, Gorman, Feltner

Goldschmidt is off to a brutal start … Paul Goldschmidt’s (1B, STL) streak of five consecutive 30+ HR seasons ended when he finished 2023 with 25 HR and a .268 batting average in 686 PA. He faded in the second half of 2023, and is off to a terrible start in 2024, batting a measly .214 with 4 HR and 63% ct% through 193 PA. How are things under the hood?
