Juan Soto has been a definite difference-maker for the New York Yankees this season. Slashing .295/.426/.558 with 23 HR, Soto has turned the uneventful at-bats around Judge into must-see TV. His contribution to the Yankees’ offense shows in their 58-40 record. Just last year, the Yankees missed the postseason altogether. The arrival of Soto with his ability to draw walks and hit for both average and power has marked the spectacular turnaround of an otherwise dismal ball club.
