Stroman: Yankees' Juan Soto is 'the best hitter in baseball'
New New York Yankees pitcher Marcus Stroman called teammate Juan Soto "the best hitter in baseball."
What It Means:
Stroman sang Soto's praises when given the chance, favorably comparing his new teammate's prowess at the plate against former greats like Alex Rodriguez and David Ortiz. Both players should be major contributors in 2024 as the Yankees seek to rise back to the top of the AL East after last year's disastrous result.
Soto notched a career-high 35 homers last year while maintaining an elite .930 OPS along the way. The star should once again be among the top picks in fantasy drafts for the upcoming season.
