Overview

• Soto hit his 38th home run on Sunday against the Reds, giving him a rare single-season combination with 117 walks and 29 steals previously achieved only by Barry Bonds and Jeff Bagwell.
• His season line sits at .262/.401/.527 with 38 homers and 29 steals, leaving him one steal shy of a 30–30 campaign.
• Over his last 15 games, he is batting .358 with a .521 on-base percentage and a .755 slugging percentage, a surge that pushed his OBP back above .400 for the first time since July.
• Despite ranking in the 15th percentile in sprint speed, he has been caught stealing just three times and has already shattered his prior single-season high of 12 steals.
• New York entered Monday four games up on Cincinnati and San Francisco for the final NL wild-card spot, with Soto’s production a key driver of that position.
