Paul Goldschmidt finished eleventh in the balloting, being mentioned on eleven of the thirty ballots submitted to the Baseball Writers Association of America, in spots ranging from eighth to tenth. That resulted in a total of eighteen points for him; as noted, it was his third time scoring a mention, having finished runner-up in both 2013 and 2015. While it was quite a drop for Goldschmidt, he fared rather better than the man whom he trailed last season, Bryce Harper of the Nationals, who failed to trouble the voters at all [the 2013 winner, Andrew McCutchen, was also notable by his absence].
