The Mexican has so far scored 29 goals from 61 appearances for the club, averaging at an impressive rate of almost one in two. Pulido is currently tied for second place in the race for the MLS Golden Boot after amassing an incredible 12 goals since the start of June.
The MLS Player of the Month for June had only managed to appear in 33 matches from a possible 89 after suffering a potentially career-ending knee injury last year. SKC averages 1.7 points per game with Pulido in the side whilst in comparison they only average 1.2 points per match without him.
