I wouldn’t call Soto the best hitter in the MLB right now (that’s not to say he isn’t good, he’s put up numerous all star caliber seasons before he’s even turned 25) but he’s still only 24 and has only played four (combined) full seasons. I’d say Aaron Judge is currently the best hitter in the MLB atm (because he just put up one of the best offensive seasons in MLB history, as well as multiple other all star campaigns).

I will say, Soto probably does have the best hold on the strike zone, I mean two seasons in a row with at least 135 walks is just ridiculous. With how young he is, it’s a definite possibility he becomes a truly dominating force in the MLB in the coming years.

Anyways this is just semantics and opinion lol, doesn’t really mean anything.
