I am stunned that so few of you have watched Votto throughout his career.
For example Votto had 134 walks and led the NL in on-base percentage in 2017 when he hit 36 HR and was #2 in MVP voting.
He drew 143 walks and led the league in on-base percentage in 2015 when he hit 29 HRs and finished #3 in MVP voting.
Votto has always waited on good pitches to hit. The idea that he stopped wanting to "help the team" is absurd.
