Juan Soto, OF (WSH) Soto had only one hit on Tuesday, but he stole his 30th base of the season, perhaps one of the most unpredictable outcomes of 2025. He is ninth in all of baseball in stolen bases, a remarkable feat for a player who entered the 2025 season averaging less than 10 stolen bases per year.
