With a 4th inning Walk, Juan Soto passes Mickey Mantle for most career walks through age 25

Feel like he’s gonna pad that lead a bit
Nobody gets on base more. Truly remarkable.
Another hallowed record falls.
And he’s wearing the pinstripes when he does it.
🙂
Mantle hit 196 home runs through age 25. Soto is at 169. And he will probably have a much healthier career than Mantle.
Huh, I’m kinda surprised Harper is on this list instead of Trout. I guess Trout didn’t have an elite walk rate until later in his career.
He’s good at the baseball
Williams got robbed
still surprised how little he cost the yankees but also how good the Padres still are without him
All the more impressive with today’s pitching taken into account.
I was wondering how he’d stack up against Ted Williams, since Ted missed his age 24 and 25 seasons serving in World War II, but even through their age 23 seasons, Soto had more walks than Ted did.
For his career so far, Soto averages 132 walks per 162 games, while Ted averaged 137 over his first 4 seasons, then bumped it up to a pace of 1 walk per game for half a decade after WWII.
Tl;DR: Soto good at getting on base. Really good at getting on base.
Juan Soto is 25.
Holy fuck, I watch this guy EVERY DAY and I fucking forgot he’s almost a decade younger than me.
It’s truly legendary given the quality of pitching these days and the fact that includes a 60-game season, where he didn’t play like 20% of it.
Fucking killed me when he was laughing at that strike day the other day after Volpe struck out. We witnessed 62 from judge this guy is on another level.
He’s walking way less this year. Actual lineup protection makes a big difference
He’s on pace to set a number of all time records if he stays healthy and produces until his late 30’s.
Bring back the Soto Shuffle please!! 😢
Hope he stays
baseball reference has it at 670 for Mantle. Am I seeing this right?
Soto is a truly elite hitter. Walk rate is crazy and hits for power. Yankees lineup has much more pop this year
Dude was just destined to be a Yankee. Nationals and Padres were just stops along the way. Everything just seems to line up perfectly and he just looks perfect in pinstripes.

I think this guy might be good.
