Arizona Diamondbacks rookie first baseman Paul Goldschmidt has monster power,
but he struck out 17 times in his first 40 plate appearances and walked only
three times, batting .216/.275/.378.

“He’s Josh Phelps — an arm-swinger,” one scout said, referring to the
former major leaguer who began his career with the Blue Jays. “His front
foot doesn’t move. All he does is swing with his arms.

Phelps, 33, actually had an .815 OPS in parts of eight seasons but is now
playing in Italy. The scout also said that Goldschmidt reminds him of former
major leaguer Richie Sexson but that Sexson was a better athlete.

Another scout said that Goldschmidt might find success in the “lesser”
 league, meaning the NL. But the scout noted that Goldschmidt is a
right-handed hitter with below-average speed — “a tough combo,” he said.
