Yankees' Paul Goldschmidt putting up 'slow-pitch softball numbers' vs. lefties

6 hours ago 1

Paul Goldschmidt is having a career resurgence as a 37-year old with the New York Yankees.

He's doing everything well, but there's nothing he has done better than hit against left-handed pitching.

Check out Goldy's ridiculous stats vs. southpaws:

  • .548 batting average
  • 5 doubles
  • 4 home runs
  • 8 RBI
  • 9 walks to 2 strikeouts

Goldschmidt is 23-for-42 overall against left-handers.

YES Network's Jack Curry summed those stats up simply, calling them "slow-pitch softball numbers."

Goldschmidt is hitting .344 overall.

He has four of his five homers vs. lefties.

Goldy has been useful against righties, yes, but it's his dominance against left-handed pitching that has him looking like one of the best hitters in baseball.

Goldschmidt has been a better hitter against lefties throughout his career.

His career OPS against right-handers is .852, a very solid mark. Against left-handers? It's an OPS of 1.023. That's domination.

As long as Goldschmidt keeps this up, the Yankees will remain one of the most fearsome offenses in baseball.
