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?

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

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

Not Aaron Judge and he's all natural.

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.

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.

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

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

JRX · 08-02-2022, 06:09 PM

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.

That guy was 45 at the time and that's why his body starting falling apart before he ever played in the leauge

Would you ask this if he was white?

Wouldn’t be a question if Soto was born with an American birth certificate.
