Is Juan Soto really 23?

CanadianKid · 08-02-2022, 04:30 PM

I am half joking and half serious, I just look at him and think man that guy is late 20's. I have no proof of course he isn't just 23 but... I am not saying he is 32 or anything but what if was discovered he was really I don't know 26?

I imagine MLB did a lot of homework?

Human growth hormones (aka puberty) are a hell of a drug.

Especially when you go through it twice, ask Mannings forehead.

Put a jersey over an oxford shirt and you'll look fat, doesn't matter how ripped you are.

First though that came to mind, maybe he’s from the future and owns a Delorian. So we get prime Soto while his present self is saving the world from an alien invasion

Did you? Go look at his 2016 BCA.

hammertime · 08-02-2022, 05:07 PM

I feel the same way about Wander.

It is quit spiffy for the age, crazy how some stuff never dawns on you until pointed out.

ucLAkers · 08-02-2022, 05:08 PM

Yep but his mustache is 27

pete2345 · 08-02-2022, 05:09 PM

He's about 32 he's leaving his prime. At least Sherzer and Strasburg got him a chip.

Only one chip? Not even a full bag of chips? That sucks

BRob1 · 08-02-2022, 05:59 PM

Right age or not I do wonder if he’s going to follow the arc people expect, improving all the way through his 27-28 season then being in a prime til 31-32. Wonder if his peak is just shifted forward.

When the GM asked Tatis about the trade he gave it the greenlight after he asked his dad what it was like to play with Soto.

This guy was 19 when this picture was taken.
