Joey Votto led the Cincinnati Reds’ offense once again in 2016 by creating more runs than anyone else in the National League. It is the third time in his career that Votto has led the NL in runs created including back to back seasons in 2010 and 2011. Mike Trout has done it four of the five years he has played everyday, but these two are alone on the Mount Rushmore of runs created.
Votto had rough start to the season, but even that was overblown. The pundits said that the shift had finally caught up to him.
