His 187 walks are the most ever for a player through his age-20 season, and his 1.24 K/BB ratio is the lowest for a player with at least 1,000 plate appearances through his age-20 season since Hall of Famer Al Kaline in the 1950s.Soto was outstanding during Washington's World Series run last year, hitting .277/.373/.554 in the postseason and .333/.438/.741 with three home runs in the World Series. He clubbed a monstrous go-ahead home run off in Game 6 that landed more than halfway up the second deck in right field at Minute Maid Park.

At this point Verlander threw a high fastball that was king of high, then the catcher starts Easton Stick Jersey arguing with the umpire because you know Verlander likes to throw the ball in the high zone ...And during this argument Soto got in and he said, 'Tell him to throw it a bit lower and I'll show him where's the strike zone' ... Believe me, I was watching all of that. Then Verlander threw the pitch he was asking for and Soto almost got the ball way out of the stadium. In my language, as a guy who played baseball profe sionally for 20 years .. Sony Michel Women Jersey . I learned that confidence this kid already has at 21 years old, I got that confidence at about 28 years old. He's seven years ahead of me."Ortiz, as a reminder, spent his age-20 season in High Cla s-A, where he hit .322/.390/.511 with 18 home runs in 129 games. He hit .301/.380/.603 with 41 homers in 150 games in his age-28 season, his second season with the .

Three inner- Trae Waynes Youth Jersey circle Hall of Famers and a precocious present day slugger who, if you didn't know any better, would make you think he was a 10-year vet given the quality of his at-bats. Big Papi's praise carries a lot of weight -- that man knows plenty about confidence and hitting -- and it is entirely warranted. Soto is as special as any young hitter to come along in a very long time.
