Perhaps the most alike players in the game, Paul Goldschmidt and Joey Votto share similar numbers. 2016 was a battle between them. They were separated by only two walks for the National League and two RBIs separated them. The doubles are one off and there is a five run difference for runs category. Goldschmidt does have better stolen base numbers.  Goldschmidt has 32 stolen bases compared to Votto’s 8. Paul also is known for his defense. Votto had a -2.4 defensive WAR compared to Goldschmidt’s -0.6. Overall, I would say Goldy has the advantage over Votto.
