Entering this season, Joey Votto was coming off a 2014 campaign where he appeared in just 62 games and had somewhat of a “down” year for a player of his caliber.

In 2014, Votto registered a Bryce Harper with a nERD of 5.15.

Joey Votto has had quite an incredible season and capped off his performance with some historic second half numbers. He becomes one of only two first basemen since 2000 to post a nERD of at least 5.15, the other being Albert Pujols in 2003, at 5.28.
