As you’ve no doubt heard, Paul Goldschmidt is a Cardinal now. That’s incredibly exciting, and even if you haven’t followed Goldschmidt’s career closely, you know the broad strokes. Powerful first baseman, spectacular hitter, walks a lot without striking out too much- he’s great. Without watching him in the regular season, however, you could be forgiven for not having a more detailed idea of *how* he’s a great hitter. Now’s as good of a time as any to fix that, though, so you have a good idea what to watch for when games start. I won’t pretend I can encapsulate Goldschmidt’s approach to hitting in a single article, so instead I’m going to focus one one specific area today- how he uses his swing to generate power.
