Generational talents don’t come often. Juan Soto is certainly one of the best players in baseball, with his incredible plate discipline coming to the light as he recorded the most BB by a player under 23 years old. Soto continues to show that he is a tremendous talent, even though he will not make the 2021 MLB playoffs, one of many MLB stars that will fail to do so. The 2019 World Series Champion is a feared hitter that has the best batting eye in the MLB and a top-tier skill set, especially for such a young player.

JUAN SOTO IS THE MOST DISCIPLINED YOUNG PLAYER BASEBALL HAS EVER SEEN

There isn’t much that hasn’t been said about Juan Soto, who has the best plate discipline in the MLB and is a five-tool player. Soto passed Adam Dunn for the most BB by a player under 23 years old in MLB history. The young phenom’s on-base skills are the best in the MLB by a wide margin. Soto’s new BB record that highlights his on-base skills is directly tied to pitchers throwing around him due to the lack of other quality hitters around him in the Nationals’ lineup. 

Credit must still be given to Juan Soto for being such a disciplined hitter at a young age and is in elite company with Barry Bonds in terms of walk totals. Despite the poor talent around him, Soto continues to be extension-worthy that could also break a record. The Nationals are in a rebuild after trading Max Scherzer, Trea Turner, and Kyle Schwarber, among others. While the Nationals rebuild, Soto is a fan favorite that deserves the attention he’s getting and is the next face of the nation’s capital.
