After the worst offensive season of Pujols’ career in 2017, Pujols has thusfar hit a respectible .256/.294/.412 with 9 home runs, 36 RBI, and 23 runs scored in 252 plate appearances in 2018. Pujols has made headlines this year by also collecting his 3,000th career hit, just another amazing achievement to go with Pujols’ incredible Hall of Fame resume.
