It's not like he's an unknown by any means, but he seems to be very far under the radar relative to how amazing he is as a hitter. Mostly because he plays in a small market on a shitty team.

These are Vottos numbers in his last 162 games

.348/.450/.635
.446 wOBA
177 wRC+
37 2B
41 HR
123 RBI

Said it before, I love watching Joey Votto hit. Seems like he chokes up more this year than ever before

He may be underrated in the sense that casual fans may not really know who he is but most people who follow baseball appreciate his plat

He makes watching someone get walked exciting. He's a master at it.

There are even some baseball die hards who knock Votto down a few pegs for "walking too much"

Who, Dusty Baker?

BTW, they said that about Theodore Samuel Williams, too.

This boards on Lester Earl did it

Votto also makes a great heel.

Multiple people on this board over the years have said he looks to walk too much.

WTF. If he gets on base what the frick difference does it make if it's a walk or a single?

People argued he should have focused more on driving in runners with RISP, instead of just getting on base.

I don't agree with the argument.

Just because you sucked his dick doesn't mean he's gay. OK, maybe it does, but that's beside the point.

Votto is a great hitter and will be one of those guys that can decide when he hangs them up. He could probably play until his mid 40s if he went to the AL to DH.

If he played for the Yankees they'd probably have some cool nickname for him... Like the Captain, but he instead is in a small market and doesn't get the publicity that he deserves.

His nickname is Vottomatic, fwiw.

If he was with the Yankees they would indeed be sucking his cock like judge. Votto is a complete player who brings his lunch box to the park every day.

He's like the complete opposite of Jeter... Underrated from a small market instead of overrated from a large market
