In 16 games and 74 plate appearances at Low-A Hagerstown, Washington Nationals’ outfield prospect Juan Soto put up a .373/.486/.814 line with five doubles, three triples, five homers, 14 walks, and 13 Ks before he was promoted to High-A Potomac in the Nats’ system.
“Obviously, he’s so advanced for his age,” Mark Sciallabba, the Nationals’ Director of Player Development, told MiLB.com after that promotion was announced.
“To have success very early in his career shows what’s he capable of. Hopefully he can grow even more in the future, but right now, he’s a very special man of hand-eye coordination, power, strength in his swing.
