Since the all-star break, Votto has an MLB-best 14 homers to go along with a .351 average and .442 on-base percentage. Among Canadian position players, Votto and Hall of Famer Larry Walker are in a class by themselves. Votto sits second to Walker in slugging (.565 vs. .520), homers (383 vs. 320), hits (2,160 to 1,996) and RBIs (1,311 to 1,038).
