New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto is poised to make MLB history as he approaches 1,000 career hits. Despite a shaky start to his season, Soto has been on an impressive tear this June, boasting a .340 batting average with five home runs and a K-BB ratio of 9-18, leading to a staggering .522 on-base percentage. He is currently at 999 hits, and a single hit will place him among legends like Mel Ott and Mickey Mantle, who achieved 1,000 hits, 200 homers, and 700 walks before age 27. Soto’s season totals stand at 14 home runs and 37 RBIs, contributing significantly to the Mets’ lead in the NL East.
