<h2>The 5 Best MLB Players 25 Or Under</h2>
<p><strong>Honorable Mention:</strong><em>Ozzie Albies, Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Mike Soroka, Gleyber Torres, Rafael Devers.</em></p>
<h2>5. Juan Soto</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210224_BUS_168876_juan_soto.jpg_22993414_891444a0.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Juan Soto. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Juan Soto</strong> continues to make strides in The Big Show. While not considered an elite defender, his outs above average prove that he’s way better than most people think. Still, there’s no doubt that his swing is his biggest trait.</p>
<p>Soto is already one of the most feared and respected sluggers in the league. He was barely old enough to drink when he led the<strong> Washington Nationals</strong> to the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/mlb-all-time-world-series-champions-by-year-20200724-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>World Series</strong></a> title a couple of years ago.</p>

<h2>4. Ronald Acuña Jr</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p>While some may consider him disrespectful,<strong> Ronald Acuña Jr </strong>is one of the few players that’s making baseball fun to watch again. He’s fierce, relentless, and it seems like he’s always on the verge of making the highlights.</p>
<p>It’s hard to put into words just how good Acuña Jr can be. He’s improved on every aspect of his game on a yearly basis and is one of the most athletic players out there. He’ll be<strong> an MVP candidate</strong> for years to come.</p>
<p><span></span></p>

<h2>3. Cody Bellinger</h2>

(Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>How many players can brag about playing a huge role in a World Series championship? Well, <strong>Cody Bellinger</strong> definitely can. In fact, most people find it hard to believe that he’s just 25 years old considering how good he’s been for some years now.</p>
<p>Not only Bellinger is one of the best defenders in his position while also giving the<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-dodgers-t110773" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Los Angeles Dodgers</a> a lot of versatility due to his ability to play at the first base as well. He’s also a power hitter and <strong>there aren’t any kinds of flaws in his game.</strong></p>

<h2>2. Shane Bieber</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Shane Bieber</strong> had already put the world on notice during his 2019 campaign but he definitely took it up a notch in the shortened season, taking home the American League Cy Young award.</p>
<p>The Cleveland Indians star has one of the best strikeout-to-walk ratios in the Majors and his four-pitch repertoire maked him just impossible to read for the average hitter. Also, he’s shown his durability with<strong> multiple complete games and shutouts.</strong></p>
<p><span></span></p>

<p></p></div>
<p>And, obviously, <strong>Fernando Tatis Jr</strong> has to be at the top of this list following his outstanding campaign in 2020. He’s the most entertaining player to watch in all baseball right now and his upside seems unlimited.</p>
<p>Tatis Jr significantly improved his defense while being one of the best offensive players in the world as well. He was an MVP candidate for most of last year and it’s only getting started, and that’s why the San Diego Padres tied him up with a <strong>massive contract extension.</strong></p>

<p>It didn’t take long before <strong>Juan Soto</strong> put <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb-t48464" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Major League Baseball</strong></a> on notice. He was a bit of a late bloomer during his rookie year but once he took off, he never looked back. Today, the 21-year-old is already the <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/washington-nationals-t110374" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Nationals’</a> </strong>superstar.</p>
<p>Subbing in as an occasional player, Soto climbed his way to the everyday lineup and finished in 2nd in the Rookie of the Year voting, as well as ending as a <strong>top-10 MVP</strong> candidate before <strong>winning his first <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/mlb-all-time-world-series-champions-by-year-20200724-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Series.</a></strong></p>
<p>Juan Soto can do it like the best sluggers in the history of baseball. His numbers through his <strong>first 300 career games</strong> are just a minor proof of what he’s capable of doing and the sky seems to be the limit for him right now.</p>

<h2>Numbers Show Juan Soto Is Already Ahead Of Mike Trout And Bryce Harper</h2>
<p>As a matter of fact, the stats through his first 300 career games a<strong>lready have him ahead of two of the best in the game</strong> like former Nationals<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/bryce-harper-t139627" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bryce Harper</a> </strong>and 3-time American League MVP <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mike-trout-t142524" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Trout</a>.</strong></p>
<p>Thus far, Juan Soto has posted a <strong>.294 batting average with 67 home runs, 211 runs batted in, and an OPS of .966.</strong> Trout topped him in the average category with <strong>.316 but fell short with 56 home runs, 177 RBIs, and .948 OPS</strong>, while Harper had <strong>.269 ba, 45 dingers, 129 RBIs, and .818 OPS.</strong></p>

<p></p></div>
<p>Moreover, and even though that doesn’t come from an individual effort, Soto can brag about something neither of those players can — and that’s not likely to change any time soon: having <strong>a World Series ring.</strong></p>
<p>Obviously, it’s still too early on his career and a lot of things could happen but as of today, Juan Soto isn’t the future of baseball, he’s already a reality, and <strong>will be a perennial MVP candidate as longas he’s healthy.</strong></p>

<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>The Nationals miserably failed to defend their crown this season but Soto is definitely not to blame with a slash line of <strong>.342/.470/.708 with 11 deep flys, 31 RBIs, and 3 stolen bases in 120 at-bats.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Fernando Tatís Jr and Juan Soto</strong> have taken <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb-t48464" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Major League Baseball</strong></a> for assault since day one. The first is already making a case for being the best player on earth, while the latter is already a <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/mlb-all-time-world-series-champions-by-year-20200724-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>World Series </strong></a>champion and one of the most respected sluggers in the league.</p>
<p>Sotois single-handedly carrying the offensive load for the defending champions Washington Nationals, who have struggled to replicate last season’s success <strong>through the first half of this shortened campaign.</strong></p>
<p>Tatís jr, on the other hand, sits atop of most National League MVP rankings right now and the <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/san-diego-padres-t125466" target="_blank" rel="noopener">San Diego Padres</a> </strong>went all-in ahead<strong> </strong>of the trade deadline<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/mike-clevinger-trade-padres-give-fernando-tatis-jr-all-he-needs-to-win-the-world-series-20200831-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong> to get him as much help as he needs</strong> </a>to make it back to the World Series.</p>

<h2>Fernando Tatís Jr Says Him Or Juan Soto Will Win The NL MVP</h2>
<p>That’s why Juan Soto took it to an <a href="https://www.mlb.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLB</a> post on Instagram to acknowledge his compatriot’s efforts by commenting<strong> MVP! MVP! MVP! </strong>Needless to say, the comment didn’t go unnoticed by the Padres’ star.</p>

<p><em>“My boy!<strong> We’re going tofinish 1st and 2nd on the MVP race</strong> (No matter who’s first). As long as it stays in our country I’m happy. Keeping the faith in God,” </em>Tatís Jr replied on Soto’s comment on the Instagram post.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>The future is bright for the Dominican Republic. They have plenty of world-class superstars that are far from their peak, with Fernando Tatís Jr and Juan Soto clearly leading the race <strong>with Vladimir Guerrero Jr also stealing a lot of headlines.</strong></p>

<p>Both Tatís Jr and Soto have strong arguments to take the award back to the Dominican Republic this season, slashing <strong>.313/.395./.660 with a league-leading 13 home runs and 33 RBIs (Tatís)</strong>, and<strong>.367/.452 /.800 with 11 homers (Soto)</strong>so it wouldn’t be a surprise to see them finishing 1-2 in the MVP voting this year.</p>
