DYK: Juan Soto’s .415 career OBP is the highest among players with at least 1,000 PA since the start of 2018. The Domini Via @MLB on X

What happened: Juan Soto drew 100 or more walks six times, including five straight seasons from 2021-25. He reached 250 career home runs during the 2026 season as a five-time All-Star.

Why it matters: That streak underpins on-base production unmatched among high-volume hitters in that span. Pairing that patience with milestone power leaves pitchers without a safe approach.

By the numbers: .415 career OBP since 2018; six 100-walk seasons; five straight 2021-25; 250 career homers in 2026.

What to watch: His on-base rate and home run count set the baseline for the rest of October.
