Paul Goldschmidt is an increasingly important presence in the middle of the St. Louis Cardinals lineup this season now that Marcell Ozuna is gone, and he's showing Cardinals fans what 2020 is going to look like in Spring Training. The Cardinals took a 1-0 lead over the Mets when Goldschmidt obliterated a solo home run off of Marcus Stroman.

Goldschmidt was solid, if a tad disappointing, in his first season as a Cardinal, but he looks poised to get back to his Arizona Diamondbacks form as soon as possible this time around, now that he's been extended.
