Juan Soto 2024 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: 441 Million Reasons To Shine
4 months agoNew York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto is playing half his games in the most lefty-friendly ballpark on a contract year. This dream scenario lands the generational talent as a potential MVP with projected stats around 38 HR, over 100 runs, and RBI, a .285/.425/.550 triple slash line while adding 10 steals. Soto should be in the 2-hole every day, possibly batting third against lefties, and the Yankees lineup will score a ton of runs. He's the best in baseball at drawing walks, sporting a lifetime of .421 OBP, and this trend will continue next season, hitting next to arguably the best lineup protection around from Aaron Judge. The Yankees will have the most dynamic 1-2-3 in the American League if the speedy Anthony Volpe earns another opportunity to lead off. Soto has never eclipsed 35 HR, but 2024 is the year for him to set a new career high. Last year, there were over 20 occasions where Soto registered an out or a double, and that batted ball would have cleared the wall in Yankee Stadium! Draft Soto in the first round with confidence (NFBC ADP is 13th overall) that he wants to be amazing in Pinstripes to earn an enormous contract [bigger than the $440 million Washington offered in 2022], leading your fantasy team along the way.
