## Resource

Hunter Goodman just rewrote the record books for catchers in the National League, smashing three homers in one game against the Twins — his 25th of the season before the All-Star break. That makes him the first NL catcher since Johnny Bench in 1970 to hit that many homers before midseason, joining an elite club of just four catchers ever to do it. His month has been even more explosive — 12 homers, 24 RBIs, both career highs — despite a modest batting average. His slugging percentage? Over .540. Yes, he’s a strikeout machine and struggles with off-speed pitches, but Saturday proved he can deliver when it matters most. And while Coors Field helps, only seven of his 25 homers came there — proving his power isn’t just park luck. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
