Juan Soto, the 2024 MVP front-runner for the New York Yankees, has drawn dramatic comparisons from Phillies legends Juan Soto has identified a facet of his game that bears similarities to one of the greatest sluggers of all time.
Soto is doing a fantastic job of capping out the current season. The celebrity from Dominica is cutting.304/.429/.589 and achieved an astounding 1.018 OPS. Soto has demonstrated once more that he is one of the top hitters in the game, both in terms of average and power, by slamming 30 home runs into the bleachers this season. Former Philadelphia Phillies great Jimmy Rollins was impressed by the seven-year veteran’s superior play and couldn’t help but compare him to former San Francisco Giants great Barry Bonds.
Jimmy Rollins likens Juan Soto of the Yankees to Barry Bonds in terms of his batting consistency.
Rollins revealed on a recent edition of “The 6-1-1 Podcast” that Soto’s ability to control how often he swings and misses is what most reminds him of Bonds (h/t Raghav Mehta of Sportskeeda):
“I believe I would like to be Juan Soto if I could return today as a batter. He never makes a mistake. Rollins said, “He’s the closest thing I’ve seen to Barry Bonds.”
