Arizona Diamondbacks All Time 25 Man Roster

First Base: Paul Goldschmidt (2011-present)

Already one of the greatest players in Arizona Diamondbacks history, Paul Goldschmidt appears destined to become the best player ever to play for the franchise.

His resume is already quite impressive. Goldschmidt has made four consecutive All Star appearances, finished second in the MVP award twice, and has won two Silver Slugger awards. Given his youth, and his continued progression, he may add to those numbers in the coming seasons.

One of the few first basemen with speed, Goldschmidt had four seasons with 20 or more home runs and four seasons with double digit steals. In his 2013 season, Goldschmidt led the National League with 36 home runs and 125 RBI as he recorded his first second place finish in the MVP vote. Overall with the Diamondbacks, he has produced a .299/.398/.525 batting line with 140 homers and 99 steals in his six year career.

Goldschmidt is not just an offensive force at first. A two time Gold Glove winner, he has saved 14 runs in his career. Three times in his six seasons, he has led the National League in putouts. The only time that he has not been amongst the top five in putouts, assists, and double plays in the past four seasons came in 2014, when he only played in 109 games due to injury.

A stellar player, Paul Goldschmidt is well on his way to becoming the greatest player in Diamondbacks history. Only 29 years old, he still has plenty of time left in his career.
