Juan Soto tried to save the Washington Nationals...

Juan Soto, who turns 20 on this week (October 25th), finished his first season in the majors ranked second among all teenagers in major league history in home runs with the 22 he hit in 116 games and 494 plate appearances, which were the most since Washington Nationals teammate Bryce Harper hit 22 in 2012. They were the second-most, behind only the Boston Red Sox’ Tony Conigliario, who hit 24 in 444 PAs in 1964.

Soto also finished the season ranked fourth in RBIs (70) by a teenage major leaguer, and first in walks (79).

Among all National League hitters (with a minimum of 490 PAs), Soto ranked second in on-base percentage (.
