Among players that have enough at bats to qualify Votto is second in the major leagues in on base percentage (.450, only 8 points behind Bryce Harper) and seventh in slugging percentage (.552). His OPS (on base % + Slug %) is third in the league (1.003, only 6 points behind 2nd place Paul Goldschmidt)
Votto's RBI numbers are down because the Reds don't have a lot of guys getting on base in front of him. Despite ranking 13th in both extra base hits and total bases Votto's 65 RBI are only good for 48th.
And his runs scored suffer because players behind him don't hit well with runners in scoring position. Despite being number one in the majors in getting on base (250 hits + base on balls + hit by pitcher) and running well enough to steal 8 bases Votto's 76 runs scored only rank 18th.
Great to see him producing among the elite and looking healthy.
