Goldschmidt has gone 9-for-26 (.346 average) with one homer and six RBI during Cactus League play.

EDGE Analysis

Goldschmidt was also able to pick up 13 at-bats in his five appearances for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic, so despite the lack of Cactus League appearances, he should be fully geared up for Opening Day. The first baseman's slugging took an unexpected hit in 2016, but even if he fails to notice much of a rebound in homers during the upcoming campaign, he could see his run-producing opportunities increase with the Diamondbacks getting a healthy A.J. Pollock back at the top of the order after Pollock sat out much of last season with a fractured elbow.
