Juan Soto doesn't mind when teams walk him -- it's easy!
There doesn't seem to be much that troubles Nationals rookie phenom Juan Soto. He's a 19-year-old slashing .298/.413/.520 with 20 home runs, and he may require a higher, extraterrestrial level of baseball to actually challenge him. Lucky for us, Soto is a Major League Baseball player and this is just the first chapter of a potentially legendary Hall of Fame career.
While Soto has seemingly made everything on the field look easy, some parts are admittedly easier than others. Hitting opposite-field home runs? That may take some work. But if teams would rather just throw four balls than give Soto a pitch to hit? That's fine with him!
Soto's 74 walks in just 106 games incredibly rank second on the Nationals behind only

Pirates right-hander

Mariners Minor Leaguer Adam Law is taking classes this offseason, but his baseball mindset isn't quite helping him in the classroom:
Earlier this season, Jayson Werth told me something really profound, “Bro, we are paid to forget.” I made a goal to apply that for the rest of the year by not dwelling too much on my previous night’s ABs. Good mindset for baseball, not ideal for my schoolwork. Plz send help.
