Soto's been on a tear this month: He's batting .325 with 10 HRs, 18 RBIs, OBP .485, Slugging .753, OPS+ 241 in June
After his 2nd two-homer game in 5 games last night, he has surpassed Jimmie Foxx (who started playing for the Athletics at age 17) for the most muli-Home Run games before turning 27 years old, by doing it 27 times.
Here are top tens for a couple of categories for the season so far:
Times on Base: 1) Judge: 164 2) Ohtani; Devers: 144 4) Tucker: 141
5) Soto: 140 6) Alonso: 135 7) Schwarber: 134 8) Guerrero; Wood 133 10) Raleigh: 131
OPS+: 1) Judge: 226 2) Raleigh: 198 3) Ohtani: 183 4) Will Smith: 161 5) Tucker: 167 6) Alonso: 162 7) Wood: 161
8) Soto 157 9) Aranda: 155 10: Carroll: 149
Soto's career OPS+ is 160, so he is just hair off of his usual pace. That career OPS+ of 160 in the top 20 EVER, and is higher than such players as Musial, Ohtani, DiMaggio, Mays, and Aaron.
Nice to have Soto and Alonso in the top 10 for both categories.
