The hit came in a year that some have called “irregular” for the outfielder, but in which his numbers reaffirm his status as a superstar. After his historic home run, Soto registers an offensive line of .265 average, 42 home runs, 103 RBIs, 33 stolen bases (also a personal best) and a solid .930 OPS. The slugger, 26 years old, greeted the fans located in right field after completing his trip around the bases, a gesture that reflects the connection he maintains with the fans in every stadium he visits. Soto, World Series champion in 2019 and one of the most feared bats in today’s baseball, continues to accumulate historical records at an age when many players are just beginning to establish themselves in the Majors. With more than a dozen games remaining on the schedule, the Dominican player will have the opportunity to continue expanding his personal record and consolidate a campaign that, despite the criticism, is shaping up to be one of the most complete of his career.
