Bars show where this card sits within its own pack (485 mlb batters), by simple rank of the measured value. Higher is only higher -- no quality judgement is implied.
What stands out
- Elite contact underneath the patience: .429 estimated wOBA on contact, behind only Aaron Judge in this group.
- Hard contact on average -- 87.3 mph mean exit velocity over 738 batted balls.
- Four-seam fastballs were only 25.2% of what he saw, and 49.7% of pitches landed in the rulebook zone.
Reading note
Descriptive only, from a single 2025 Statcast pull (>=300 pitches-faced floor). Contact numbers are over the 738 batted balls only, not all 2,940 pitches, and estimated wOBA on contact is a batted-ball model -- it says nothing about walks or strikeouts, which are the core of Soto's game. No swing/miss or launch-angle column in this pull, so no whiff or chase rate here. Not park- or opponent-adjusted; not a prediction. 'Largest/behind only Judge' is scoped to these twelve hitters.
