Major League Baseball fans have had varying opinions over the years of what it takes to be the most proficient hitter on the field. Is it the guy who constantly gets hits and hits over .300 every year, is it the guy who hits more home runs than he gets singles, or is it the guy who can keep getting on base for his team? Baseball is a sport that will never have a consensus on this kind of opinion, but I will be focusing on one of the MLB’s best talents when it comes to getting on base: Juan Soto. Juan Soto entered the league in 2018 and he truly has never looked back. From then on, each and every year he was seemingly getting better and better. Walk rates going up, strikeout rates going down, hitting for power, contact, and getting on base. But, as awesome as it would have been for Soto to keep improving, it is just not likely for an MLB athlete to do that. Soto’s career in baseball so far is heavily defined by elite plate discipline, fantastic bat-to-ball skills, blockbuster trades, and the Soto shuffle. This video is covering Soto’s career so far and why he has created both a historic and modern unmatched style of play. He’s considered one of the best players in baseball every year for a reason.
