With a 400-foot, opposite field home run to left field on Saturday, Juan Soto extended three streaks. He had a hit streak, which stretched to 12-straight games, over which he was 17 for 41 (.415/.564/.732) with four doubles, three homers, 14 walks, and eight strikeouts in 55 plate appearances, and a 19-game on-base streak going back to June 17th over which he had an impressive .333/.500/.614 line in 76 PAs. We’ll get to the third streak in a second...
He also walked late in Saturday’s loss, for an MLB-high 71 free passes on the year.
Soto’s home run was his third in his previous seven games and 25 PAs.
