A Glance At The Amazing Statistics Of Albert Pujols

There are many questions and debates that keep rearing their heads during discussions and the main ones are about sports. One of the most common ones is regarding Albert Pujols and whether or not he is the best ever at hitting the ball.

To save time and even more confusion, I’m only going to do comparisons with players from the last three decades.

Today’s baseball bears little resemblance to the game that was played in past eras, so a comparison between Albert Pujols and Willie Mays for example just doesn’t stand up. Only players from the modern game could be compared.

How would Pujols have played in past eras? That’s a question nobody can answer so the debate is pointless. He has enough going for him for us to consider him to be the best in the modern game, so why bother with comparisons with players from the past?

To start with, there is a possibility he can still improve as he doesn’t hit 30 until his next birthday. His consistency has been second to none; few players can boast that they have turned out every week and played like Pujols has, let’s check out a few of his statistics.

When you consider that you have to go way back to find a low average of .312 in the second year of his career, and his lowest since has been .327, this really is a guy to be reckoned with.

The least amount of home runs that Pujols has hit during one season is 32. He has played 9 seasons in MLB and in 5 of those hit 40. This young man just keeps raising the bar and creating staggering statistics as he goes.

As every new season starts, we hold our breath to see if Pujols can maintain his stunning form, and he never lets us down. Is he the greatest hitter of our generation? That we can only answer when he finishes playing, but I wouldn’t bet against him.
