Juan Soto achieved a significant milestone by recording his 1,000th MLB hit with a single for the New York Mets against the Braves, joining Hall of Famers Mickey Mantle and Mel Ott as the only players to reach 1,000 hits, 700 walks, and 200 home runs before turning 27. Despite a slow start with a .248 batting average this season, his exceptional skills justify the Mets’ record $765 million investment in him.
