Washington Nationals fans could be forgiven if they are still in shock at the rookie season that Juan Soto last year. He wasn’t supposed to be this good, this soon, but in his time in the big leagues, he was one of the best hitters in the league.
Even though Ronald Acuña Jr. pipped him to Rookie of the Year, it was a close fought race right until the end of the season. After competing for that award together, they could now be set to battle it out for MVP awards for the foreseeable future, starting in 2019.
