He had an outstanding week, hitting .435 with three homers, nine RBI, three triples, four walks, and seven runs scored. With a 1.000 slugging percentage and a .500 on-base percentage, he showcased his incredible skills at the plate.
Soto’s stellar performance included hitting two home runs against the San Francisco Giants on Sunday, one of which was a go-ahead blast in the ninth inning. His season totals now stand at .322/.417/.614 with 17 home runs, 53 RBI, 46 runs scored, and 40 walks. Soto is making a strong case to win the AL MVP award with his consistency and power at the plate.
The Washington Nationals have benefited greatly from Soto’s impressive performances this season. He has been a key factor in their success as they continue to dominate in their division. As they prepare for playoffs, Soto will be an important player to watch as he continues to showcase his incredible skills at the plate.
