Hamid has been to get his place at the top in large part due to his ability to make diving saves. He has earned 157 points per game on average making such saves, 71 points more than the average goalkeeper. He has also separated himself by making saves from inside the box.
He will look to continue his stellar play this Sunday against Alec Kann and Atlanta United FC (3 pm ET; FS1 and FOX Deportes in US | MLS LIVE in Canada).
