Juan Soto hit his 20th home run of the 2018 campaign last night. It was his fourth home run in the last four games. Soto, 19, has hits in eight straight games now, over which he’s gone 12 for 35 (.343 AVG), and he’s now just two home runs behind Bryce Harper for second on the list of the players with the most homers by a teenager in MLB history, having passed the New York Giants’ Mel Ott with No. 20, to take over third on the list all by himself.
Harper hit 22 in 2012, and only the Boston Red Sox’ Tony Conigliaro, who hit 24 in 1964, has hit more homers as a teenager in MLB history.
