Tue May 3 202208:39Juan Soto Notches His First Three-Hit Game On Sunday
Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto helped lead the team to an 11-5 win over the San Francisco Giants on Sunday. He went 3-for-5 in the game with three singles, three runs scored and a stolen base. This was Soto's eighth multi-hit game on the young season, but his first three-hit effort. Through 24 games this year, the 23-year-old phenom is slashing .262/.415/.452 with four home runs, two stolen bases, five RBI and 18 runs scored. He has a 19.8% walk rate, which leads the majors.

Mon Apr 25 202209:21Juan Soto Hitless Over His Last Two Games
Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto was stifled by San Francisco Giants pitching in the last two games of this past weekend's series. He went 0-for-8 over the two-game stint, striking out twice. He did, however, manage two hits, including a double, in the series opener on Friday. Soto is slashing .242/.405/.435 over 18 games this year with three home runs, three RBI and 11 runs scored. The RBI total is the most concerning surface stat for now as the superstar just hasn't had enough baserunners to drive in this year. Meanwhile, his plate discipline has remained elite so far this year with a 20.3% walk rate and 13.9% strikeout rate.

Sun Apr 17 202210:21Juan Soto Delivers Double And Homer
Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto went 2-for-3 with a double, home run, and two walks against the Pirates on Saturday. His solo shot was hit on a rope, snuck through a stairwell and right field, and found its way into the Allegheny River. The 23-year-old is now 4-for-6 with four walks and zero strikeouts over the last two games. Since the season began, he has slashed .314/.467/.600 with a 97th-percentile walk rate (22.2 percent) and 89th-percentile strikeout rate (11.1 percent). He also ranks among some of the league's best in metrics like xSLG, xwOBA, xBA, and exit velocity. Fantasy managers should continue to view Soto as one of the best fantasy options considering his ability to hit the ball with power, draw walks, and avoid strikeouts.

Fri Apr 8 202200:38Juan Soto Goes Deep In Opening Day Loss
Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto clubbed his first home run of the season on Thursday as his club fell to the Mets 5-1 in the Opening Day contest. Trevor May was the victim of the 23-year-old's no-doubter to right field that measured 428 feet with a 111 MPH exit velocity for his team's only run of the game. Soto finished his night going 1-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout, and is looking poised for another MVP-type season after hitting .313 with 29 HR a year ago.

Wed Mar 23 202210:26Juan Soto Secures $17.1 Million For 2022
Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto avoided salary arbitration on Tuesday by agreeing to a one-year, $17.1 million deal. Soto reportedly turned down a 13-year, $350 million contract extension from the Nationals prior to the lockout last December. The 23-year-old left-handed slugger slashed .313/.465/.534 with 29 home runs, 111 runs scored, 95 RBI and nine steals in 654 plate appearances over 151 games. The first-time All-Star also led the league in walks (145) and on-base percentage (.465). He was the runner-up to Bryce Harper for the National League MVP award and is RotoBaller's No. 2 overall fantasy player in 2022 behind former teammate Trea Turner.

Wed Feb 16 202222:04Juan Soto Turned Down Contract Extension
Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto turned down a 13-year, $350 million contract offer from the Nationals before the lockout in early December, according to ESPN Deportes' Enrique Rojas. The 23-year-old star outfielder finished second in National League MVP voting in 2021 and has slashed .301/.432/.550 in his first four big-league seasons. Soto is currently due to hit free agency after the 2024 season when he'll have just turned 26, and if he makes it there, he could break all current MLB contract records. The belief is he'll be looking to get close to or above the MLB high annual average value of ex-Nats teammate Max Scherzer's $43 million, which could put Soto's deal in the $500 million range. Soto has 98 home runs, 312 RBI and 32 stolen bases in his first four seasons and will be a top-five fantasy pick in the first round of drafts.

Thu Nov 18 202118:56Juan Soto Finishes Second In National League MVP Voting
Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto finished second in the NL MVP voting, as MLB announced Thursday. Soto received six first-place votes, and former teammate Bryce Harper took home the award. Soto slashed .313/.465/.534 with 29 homers, nine steals, 111 runs scored, and 95 RBI in 647 plate appearances this season. He led the major leagues in on-base percentage, and finished second for the NL batting title behind only Trea Turner. At 23 years old, there are almost certainly more MVP-caliber seasons ahead for Soto, and he will be a consideration for first overall pick in 2022 fantasy drafts.

Fri Oct 1 202123:45Juan Soto Walks Four Times Friday
Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto continued his anomalous campaign Friday, going 0-for-1 with four walks in a 4-2 loss to the Boston Red Sox. Soto has 13 walks in his past seven games, but he's managed just three base hits in that same span, and he hasn't homered since going deep twice on September 23. His on-base percentage continues to rise steadily, but the pitch-around strategy limits Soto's value to a certain extent for fantasy managers in less sabermetrically-inclined leagues.

Fri Sep 24 202112:42Juan Soto Carries Nats With Two Homers Thursday
Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto was once again a force on Thursday against the Cincinnati Reds, going 3-for-3 with two solo home runs and a walk. Soto now has 29 home runs on the year, and continues to set all sorts of records on a daily basis. He's slashing .381/.545/.713 with 18 home runs, 52 runs scored and 50 RBI since the All-Star break in 202 at-bats. Fantasy managers should just ride the wave all the way to the bank.

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto reached base in all five of his plate appearances Wednesday, going 3-for-3 with a home run, a double, two walks (one intentional), three RBI, and two runs scored. Soto now has an eight-game hitting streak, and he's raised his OPS to 1.010 on the year to go with his 27 homers, 104 runs, 90 RBI, and nine steals. He may be the best fantasy asset out there right now, and he's got potential to go first overall in 2022 drafts.

Mon Sep 20 202113:29Juan Soto Smacks Mammoth Homer
Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto smacked a mammoth 454-foot homer off Jon Gray Sunday, helping his team to a 3-0 victory over the Colorado Rockies. It was his only hit in four at-bats. Soto manages to continue to contribute across the board, despite the fact that opposing pitchers seem determined to pitch around him. With a .356/.522/.614 slash line in his last 30 games, Soto is a rare set-it-and-forget-it player for fantasy managers.

Fri Sep 17 202123:58Juan Soto Reaches Four Times For Eighth Time This Month
Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto reached base four times again Friday against the Colorado Rockies, going 1-for-2 with three walks and a run scored. He has now reached base four times in a game eight separate times in the month of September out of 16 games. The next time he does so he will break Barry Bonds' record for the most such games in a season. Soto is slashing an outrageous .315/.460/.526 on the season and is a fantasy monster, especially in sabermetrically-inclined leagues.

Wed Sep 15 202122:40Juan Soto Collects Two More Hits On Wednesday
Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto went 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI during an 8-6 loss to the Miami Marlins on Wednesday. The 22-year-old has been red hot the past 30 days, posting six homers, 23 RBI, 24 R, and three stolen bases with a .350/.514/.590 line across 100 at-bats. While the slugger didn't return the top-five value fantasy managers were seeking in the first half of the season, Soto has more than made up for it in the second half and has the upside to deliver hardware for patient managers. Soto will be a top-five pick in redraft leagues next year, and those fortunate enough to have him secured in dynasty formats have a future MVP on their hands.

Wed Sep 15 202112:54Juan Soto Reaches Four Times Yet Again
Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto reached base four more times Tuesday, going 3-for-4 with an intentional walk and an RBI in an 8-2 victory over the Miami Marlins. He's now reached base four times in four of his last six games. He's the only batter in the major leagues with more walks than strikeouts, and he's registered a massive 120 walks to only 83 strikeouts. Soto is a walking cheat code right now...literally...and he needs to get a long look as the first overall pick in 2022 drafts.

Mon Sep 13 202101:11Juan Soto Reaches Base Four More Times Sunday
Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto manages to do things nearly every day that other players never manage to accomplish. On Sunday, Soto reached base four more times, going 2-for-3 with a double, a triple, two walks, and a run scored in a 6-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. He's now reached base at least four times in three of his last four games and is slashing .439/.589/.732 in September. He's very good at baseball, and he should be on your fantasy team.

Sat Sep 11 202123:59Juan Soto Has Four-Hit Game
Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto went 4-for-5 with an RBI and two runs scored against the Pittsburgh Pirates Saturday. He now has a 15-game on-base streak, and he's reached base four times in five of those games. Since the All-Star break, he's slashed .349/.522/.645, and a tough-luck down month of May could be all that's kept Soto from an all-time top season. He has to be a top-two pick at least heading into 2022 with his .974 OPS, 25 homers, 96 runs, 83 RBI, and nine steals.

Fri Sep 10 202112:24Juan Soto Reaches Four Times, Scores Two Runs Thursday
Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto continued his on-base dominance Thursday against Atlanta, reaching four times by going 2-for-5 at the plate with two intentional walks. He scored twice. Soto has slashed .342/.521/.652 with 54 hits and 58 walks in 50 games since the All-Star break. He contributes in every category and appears to be getting the Barry Bonds treatment, with 10 of those free passes being intentional. Soto is happy to take his walks, which will allow him to single-handedly win the on-base category for fantasy managers, leading to plenty of runs along the way.

He's slashing .330/.535/.614 over his last 30 games, and he may be the top fantasy player in baseball for the rest of the season, if not next.

Sun Aug 29 202122:58Juan Soto Homers, Steals A Bag Sunday
Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto had another big game Sunday, going 1-for-2 with a home run, two walks, two runs scored, and a stolen base. He now has 22 homers and seven steals for the year. Soto is slashing .307/.504/.523 in 123 plate appearances over his last 30 games as the league seems to have collectively decided to pitch around Soto the rest of the season. He leads the league with 102 walks and should provide extreme top-end value in on-base formats while remaining a top-ten hitter in all fantasy leagues.
