Juan Soto News
Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto finished second in the NL MVP voting, as MLB announced Thursday. Soto received six first-place votes, and former teammate Bryce Harper took home the award. Soto slashed .313/.465/.534 with 29 homers, nine steals, 111 runs scored, and 95 RBI in 647 plate appearances this season. He led the major leagues in on-base percentage, and finished second for the NL batting title behind only Trea Turner. At 23 years old, there are almost certainly more MVP-caliber seasons ahead for Soto, and he will be a consideration for first overall pick in 2022 fantasy drafts.
Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto continued his anomalous campaign Friday, going 0-for-1 with four walks in a 4-2 loss to the Boston Red Sox. Soto has 13 walks in his past seven games, but he's managed just three base hits in that same span, and he hasn't homered since going deep twice on September 23. His on-base percentage continues to rise steadily, but the pitch-around strategy limits Soto's value to a certain extent for fantasy managers in less sabermetrically-inclined leagues.
Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto was once again a force on Thursday against the Cincinnati Reds, going 3-for-3 with two solo home runs and a walk. Soto now has 29 home runs on the year, and continues to set all sorts of records on a daily basis. He's slashing .381/.545/.713 with 18 home runs, 52 runs scored and 50 RBI since the All-Star break in 202 at-bats. Fantasy managers should just ride the wave all the way to the bank.

Things just keep getting better for the Nationals' 22-year-old superstar. After dazzling with a .287/.403/.535 triple-slash line over his first two seasons (266 games), Juan Soto took his game to a level that many people did not think possible. The young phenom slashed .351/.490/.695 in 47 games in 2020, and improved drastically from an already elite strikeout-to-walk ratio, posting a 14.3% strikeout rate with a 20.9% walk rate. His career 16.9% walk rate puts him third in the league since his debut in 2018 (behind only Mike Trout and Bryce Harper), and the career 19.2% strikeout rate checks in three points below the league average. Some speculation about his continued elite home run production is fair given the fact that he has posted ground-ball rates above 50% in two of his three career seasons. He has hit home runs at a rate that appears tough to sustain given his propensity for the ground-ball, but the career exit velocity (90.6 mean, 113.7 max) and barrel rate (12.3%) metrics provide some cozy feelings about his continued power production. Throw in the fact that Soto has 23 steals in his 313 games (a 162-game pace of 12), and you have the profile of a true five-category stud. In on-base percentage leagues, Soto can absolutely be considered with the first overall pick, and he is a no-questions-asked top-five hitter regardless of the format.
