I know some of you have read my top five outfielders now I’m going to list my top five first baseman.
- Paul Goldschmidt- He plays for not a very good team so not many people think of him as one of the best but this year he is leading the league in runs batted in he has already got 93 and is on his way for more. He has also been leading the league lately in Average. He is on track to being a hall of fame first baseman. But I say he has to get on a better team before he gets there.
2. Miguel Cabrera- He is known for the triple crown he has gotten in his career. Getting a triple crown is very hard and takes a great year to have one. Why I would put him second is because of his great OPS which stands for [On-base plus slugging] percentage. His OPS is 1.072 which is great. He is right now leading the league in four different categories. He is a very humble of the field as well. He is also a great first baseman that can make good plays. But he is older then a lot of first baseman but is still playing very well for his age.
3. Albert Pujols- Has been great this year he had some slow years lately but know is picking it up and play the way he was when he was younger. Even though he is 35 he is still rocking it out on the field. He has 33 home runs so far and there are still about 40 games left. I say he gets to 40 home runs this year and he had been playing in the league for 15 years he has had more home runs this year then a lot of the other seasons when he was younger! Its crazy he still playing this well. He also has 71 RBI which is great as well. I know the Angels aren’t playing as well lately but I say Pujols get on a hot streak and leads them to the division title.
4. Adrian Gonzalez- Been pretty good this year but he has not hit as well. But he has been great out on the field making good plays here and there. Why would I put him fourth is because his defense. I enjoyed getting to seeing him play in person when I went to the Rangers and Dodger game back in June.
5. Anthony Rizzo- He has been awesome this year he has lead his team to be pretty good. It helped though that got Kris Bryant. He has 25 home runs and 77 RBI which is pretty good he gets overlooked a little though because of the past history of the Cubs not being very good. I say this year the Cubs get into the wild card because of Rizzo
