But injuries have slowed his pace later in his career. Pujols has averaged 26 home runs per season over the past eight years with the Angels. His best home run season with the Angels was in 2015 when he hit 40.

Pujols, who has one season left on his contract with the Angels after 2020, has gone deep four times this season.

For a power hitter, Pujols doesn’t strike out often. His high was 93 in his rookie season and in 2017. In 2006, he nearly had as many homers (49) as strikeouts (50).

It was his 12th homer at hitter-friendly Coors Field. His most road homers have been at Houston’s Minute Maid Park, where he’s hit 31.

The pitcher he’s taken deep the most often? That would be Ryan Dempster, who gave up eight homers to Pujols.

Rockies manager Bud Black said Pujols’ place in history is already secured.

“One of the greatest right-handed hitters of all time,” Black said. “There’s no doubt about that. There were periods in his career where he amassed statistics that are comparable with the greats of all time.

“Years from now when we talk about Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, and you transfer to next generation, the Mike Schmidts and then into the Jim Thomes and more of the modern era, Albert will be in the same conversation with the greats.”
