At just 27 years old, the Mets outfielder has built an impressive resume that includes a World Series title, a batting championship, an OPS crown, and a $765 million contract. Furthermore, he will become the youngest player to play in an All-Star Game with four different franchises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I always feel a lot of gratitude. Last year I fell short and that motivated me. I had to be better to be among the best in the league, and thank God I achieved it,” Soto expressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mets interim manager Andy Green did not spare any praise for the Dominican player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n“I think he has set his mind on being one of the best players in the history of this sport. That is the place where he belongs: the All-Star Game,” stated Green.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Soto currently leads the National League in on-base percentage (.410), slugging (.575), and OPS+ (173). Since the beginning of June, he is batting .364, with seven home runs, 19 RBIs, and an on-base percentage of .505, reaffirming his offensive dominance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
