Overview

• Soto has 42 home runs, 35 stolen bases and 123 walks, making him the second player to reach at least 40-35-100 in a season.
• He joins Barry Bonds as the only players to post that combination, with Bonds doing so in 1996 and 1997.
• His 35 steals are a career high after entering 2025 with a single-season best of 12, reflecting a deliberate expansion of his game.
• Statcast credits him with +3 baserunning runs (86th percentile), and if he finishes at three or more he would be the first in the tracking era to have multiple seasons at −3 or worse and at least one at +3 or better.
• ESPN’s Jeff Passan dubbed him a 'base thief of the year' type and noted he led MLB in second-half steals; Soto also sits top-10 in steals this season and is three walks shy of the Mets’ single-season record.
