Part 2/7:

Soto's trajectory as a player makes it clear that he is predominantly valuable for his offensive capabilities. Since his MLB debut in 2018, statistics reveal a negative fielding run value of -31, based on his -5 Defensive Runs Saved (DRS) and a -5.1 Defensive Wins Above Replacement (dWAR). Amidst these figures, it is evident that Soto struggles defensively, which raises concerns for his longevity in the outfield as he approaches the peak of his physical prime at 26 years old.
