Through 90 games this season, Soto has walked 72 times. The current pace has him reaching near his career 162 game average of 133. Only John Olerud, with 125 in 1999, was able to get to triple digits. Soto, with an average of .8 per game this year, should be at around 129.

After the New York Yankees opened the Subway Series with two home runs in the first inning, one of which came off the bat of Aaron Judge, Soto tied the game with a two-run shot of his own. This swing earned Soto a new nickname from MLB: Subway Series Soto.
