Juan Soto went 3 for 3 with a double, home run, walk, single, and intentional base on balls in his five plate appearances in the series finale with the Miami Marlins in loanDepot park.
Soto finished the night ranked first in the NL in AVG (.321), OBP (.466), and walks (130), and second in OPS (1.010), fWAR (6.1), wOBA (.424), wRC+ (165), and runs scored (104), so yeah, a player like that probably deserves some consideration in the NL MVP race.
“I’ve said it before, he should be considered, absolutely,” Davey Martinez told reporters when the Nationals’ manager spoke to reporters following the club’s 7-5 win in Miami.
