Juan Soto is the new Ted Williams: His numbers only compare to the legendary Red Sox

While the Washington Nationals are already several months old who decided to throw in the towel this season by changing almost all of their stars how Max Scherzer, Trea Turner, Josh Harrison, Yan Gomes, among othersyes, with the only untouchable being the Dominican Juan Soto, who in his short career has already shown because he’s become one of the best hitters around MLB, where there are even comparisons with the legendary Ted Williams.

Although it is difficult to compare eras and different players, the numbers and the way of playing of Soto and Williams, but it is that even their numbers at this point in the careers of both are practically the same, since according to data from statesman Erick Lantigua, the Dominican and the Hall of Fame are the only two members of an exclusive club.

Ted Williams and Juan Soto are the only two players to have at least 95 or more home runs and 350 or more walks in their first 455 major league games, with Williams having 96 home runs and 367 walks, while Soto amassed 98 home runs. and 359 tickets in the same period.

The reality is that Soto’s season finale is being impressive, sneaking into the conversation for the National League MVP along with Fernando Tatis Jr. and Bryce Harper, with the Nats hitting since August 5 for .400 with an OBP of .572, having 11 homers and just 20 strikeouts for 55 walks.

I started as a rookie on Al Bat in early 2018 and I am going into my third season covering Major League Baseball as a web reporter. I am a fan of the San Francisco Giants, a number one defender of Barry Bonds and a critic of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Fernando Tatis Jr., Juan Soto and Ronald Acuña are the future of baseball, Mike Trout is overrated, and the Astros deserved to be taken away from the World Series for cheating. Besides baseball, I also enjoy soccer, football, basketball, and just about any other game that includes a ball or a ball. I am also an amateur musician, penniless gamer and very nerdy.

I lived in Australia for a while; i survived giant spiders, tasmanian devils and fought a kangaroo and didn’t die trying.
