Shohei Ohtani is projected for 48 HR & 138 pitching strikeouts per FG Depth Charts
20+ HR & 35+ pitching strikeouts in a season, MLB history:
2025 Shohei Ohtani
2023 Shohei Ohtani
2022 Shohei Ohtani
2021 Shohei Ohtani
2018 Shohei Ohtani
2023, 2021: 40+ HR & 100+ K as P
Juan Soto is projected for 38 homers and 128 walks per FG Depth Charts
This would be his 6th season with 25+ HR & 125 walks
Most seasons with 25+ HR & 125+ walks:
Barry Bonds: 10
Babe Ruth: 10
Ted Williams: 8
Juan Soto: 5
Most walks in first 8 seasons:
Ted Williams: 1,101 (1,184 games)
Juan Soto: 896 (1,096 games)
Looking ahead…
Most walks in first 9 seasons:
Ted Williams: 1,183 (1,273 games)
Frank Thomas: 989 (1,236 games)
Juan Soto has the most career walks before turning…
20 years old (79 BB)
21 (187)
23 (373)
24 (508)
25 (640)
26 (769)
27 (896)
28 (896 & counting)
As a reminder, he’s turned 27 in October. He set the pre-27 AND pre-28 marks in 2025, at age 26.
Juan Soto has 896 career walks
that’s the most by a player before turning 28, ahead of Mickey Mantle’s 892
he already has the pre-28 record, and he’s yet to even play a game as a 27-year-old
most before turning 29: 1,003 (Mantle)
Again. He turned 27 in Oct!
