2024 Fantasy Outlook
All's well that ends well? Soto was hitting .202 with five homers and 11 RBI as the calendar flipped to May, making many fantasy managers rather nervous watching their first round foundational pick get off to such a poor start. Soto went on to turn things around, hitting 30 homers, driving in 98, and hitting .290 for the rest of the season to finish as the 16th most valuable fantasy player in our standard rankings. He was one of three qualified hitters with more walks than strikeouts in 2023 and has still not fallen below the .400 mark for a season on-base percentage in his entire career. The batting average has taken a tumble since the 2020-2021 season but the volume is still in place for the other statistics. After getting traded to the Yankees for his final year before free agency, Soto will gain a massive home-park power boost, as Yankee Stadium rates as the second best park for lefty power, per Baseball Savant's park factors, while San Diego rated as the fifth-worst such park. There will be immense pressure on him to produce in pinstripes as his free agency looms next winter. Read Past Outlooks
Racks up five RBI in win
Soto went 3-for-5 with a home run and five total RBI in Wednesday's 9-4 victory versus the Astros.
ANALYSIS
Soto put New York on the board in the first inning with a 440-foot two-run blast to center field. He added a run-scoring single in the second frame, an RBI groundout in the sixth and a run-scoring single in the eighth. Soto ranks second in the majors with 33 RBI on the campaign thanks largely to his nine homers and .423 batting average with runners in scoring position.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Targeting 20 stolen bases
Soto has four stolen bases through 37 games this season and said last Wednesday that he thinks he "has the speed to steal 20 bases," according to Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News.
ANALYSIS
Soto tied a career high with 12 steals last season and also reached that number in 2019, but those are the only two campaigns in which he's reached double digits. The 25-year-old's first season with the Yankees has been a resounding success thus far, as he has a .996 OPS with eight homers, 28 RBI and 25 runs, and his 2.4 fWAR is tied for third in MLB.

Baseball is an incredibly difficult game, and even players with Hall of Fame skill sets will struggle for stretches. At the end of June, Soto was batting just .224. It leaked in the media that Soto had turned down the Nationals' 15-year, $440 million offer, setting the stage for a blockbuster trade that sent Soto out West for an all-time prospect haul. Batting average, as we know, has its limitations, and in Soto's case his .242 season mark is downright misleading. He still hit the ball with incredible authority and chased pitches outside of the zone at a lower rate than anyone. The Padres did not run much last season under manager Bob Melvin, but everything else sets up well for a big-time rebound in Soto's first full season in San Diego.
