If that CAC Mike Trout can win MVP in a season where he only played 134 games and his team lost 90 games than Juan Soto better win NL MVP this season 4 walks again last night. Dude is in such ALL-TIME elite company when it comes to him getting on base that he should absolutely win NL MVP. Currently .470 OBP highest full season average since Chipper Jones in 2008 (Soto was at .490 last season). Soto is the only qualified batter with more walks than strikeouts this season, with 144 free passes and just 88 punchouts. He did it last season too. Only other player has done that in his qualified age-22 season or younger in the Wild Card Era: Albert Pujols in 2002. And Soto will now have done it twice within that age frame.

Why does no one have over 125 Rbis any regularly? Seems other than arenado 3 years ago most players max out at 115.

Less balls put in play. Walks and home runs. Less table setters. The runs seem more spread out now with everyone hitting 20+ home runs

Makes sense, home runs seem to be static but it used to be if you batted like 3rd or 4th that was automatic for 2 or 3 runs pushed in.
