Juan Soto drew the 669th walk of his MLB career on Tuesday, moving the New York Yankees outfielder into first place on the all-time list before the age of 26.
on Tuesday. The walk Soto drew in the top of the fourth led to a run, and neither team scored for the rest of the night after he crossed home plate.
It also marked Soto's 29th base on balls through 43 games this season, as well as the 669th walk of his MLB career. Soto led the National League in walks with 145 in 2021, 135 in 2022 and 132 in 2023., Soto just passed Yankees legend Mickey Mantle for most career walks before turning 26 years old since at least 1901. Considering he doesn't turn 26 until October 25, it was only a matter of time before Soto broke Mantle's record, but it was an impressive achievement nonetheless.
Juan Soto’s walk was the 669th of his career, passing Mickey Mantle for the most career walks before turning 26, since at least 1901star also leads the AL in on-base percentage this season, thanks in large part to his constant walks. He is batting .313 with nine home runs, 34 RBI, four stolen bases, a .947 OPS and a 1.8 WAR.
At this pace, it certainly seems like the Yankees were right to trade for Soto this past offseason. Anyone who passes Mickey Mantle on an all-time leaderboard has serious talent, and now it's just a matter of whether or not New York can extend the young outfielder. Soto and the Yankees will face the Twins again on Wednesday. First pitch is scheduled for 7:40 p.m. ET.Sam Connon is a Staff Writer for Fastball on the Sports Illustrated/FanNation networks.
