Scouting report
The 2021 season will already be Soto's fifth in pro ball and he's still just 20-years-old as of list publication. He has finally started to fill out and is going to hit many more home runs in 2021 than he has throughout the rest of his career combined. Soto plays hard, takes good at-bats, and he's hard to strike out (he had a measly 7% swinging strike rate in 2019). While his lack of power makes it almost impossible for him to be a regular, he does have speed, defensive versatility, advantageous handedness, terrific on-field makeup, and, again, is still only 20. He projects as a bench stalwart and situational player.
