Juan Soto Maintaining A .524 On-Base Percentage In August
3 years agoWashington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto has been drawing walks at an extremely high rate in August. He has 26 walks over 20 games this month, with 16 strikeouts over that same stretch. His high walk rate has led to a .524 on-base percentage in August. While his plate discipline is certainly elite, the high walk rate is also due to his lack of support in the Nationals lineup. The 22-year-old Soto got off to a slow start to the year, but he's been one of the most productive hitters in the majors over the past two-to-three months. Over 114 games on the year, he's slashing .300/.442/.503 with 20 home runs, six stolen bases, 67 RBI and 82 runs.
