Expectations were high for Jorge Soler going into the 2020 season, and for good reason. In 2019 the Royals DH broke the Royals single-season home-run record previously held by Mike Moustakas. I say broke, but I mean shattered. Moose slapped an impressive 38 home runs in 2016, but three years later Soler not only one-upped that, he ten-upped it, setting not only a Royals single-season record but hitting the most home runs of anyone in the AL with 48.
Soler combined his record-setting home runs with an impressive .354 on-base percentage and 10.8% walk rate to post a 136 wRC+ (20th best in baseball).
