Esta vez comenzaré con uno de los más jóvenes, se trata del nacido en la República Dominicana, Juan Soto Pacheco, un jugador de 24 años y que a sus 20 años logros un anillo de Serie Mundial con los Nacionales de Washington, estuvo con ese equipo hasta julio del año pasado, paso a los Padres de San Diego y logro acceder a los play-offs, lamentablemente para el y los Padres, no pudieron llegar muy lejos, Soto perdió el premio del novato del año con el venezolano Ronald Acuña Jr, pero ha evolucionado con más rapidez que el de Venezuela, estos son los números del dominicano de por vida en las mayores, turnos al bate 2136, 430 anotadas, 612 hits, 125 cuadrangulares y proyecta unos 500 de mantener su salud, sus impulsadas son: 374, un promedio decente de 287 y su OPS es de 950, números que los han llevado a tener uno de los mejores contratos de las grandes ligas.

Para muchos Mike Trout, es la nueva cara de la MLB, se puede decir que tomo el puesto que dejo vacante Dereck Jeter a la hora de retirarse, Trout es uno de los peloteros mejores pagados, es de la camada del también jardinero de poder Bryce Harper, múltiple ganador del premio más valioso de la Liga Americana, a diferencia de Soto, no ha podido ganar una Serie Mundial, es que ni siquiera ha llegado a jugar una serie de campeonato, sus números durante su carrera no deja desperdicio y demuestran que es un pelotero muy completo, 5094 turnos, 1052 anotadas, 1543 imparables, si la salud lo permite puede terminar su carrera muy cerca de los tres mil hits, tiene poder y sus 350 jonrones lo certifican, 896 impulsadas, puede robas bases, tiene 204 y un promedio vitalicio de 303 puntos, pese a tener años de lesiones sus proyecciones lo dan como uno de los mejores de la historia.

In major league baseball there have always been many players who stand out above the rest, but in the last two decades they have multiplied in quantity and quality, since players like Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire, Rickey Henderson and Ken Griffey, Jr. came to the forefront. All of them left indelible marks in the 90's and in the first decade of this millennium, this without naming the pitchers, today there are players called superstars or also players who own the 5 tools, that is, they hit, fidean, can steal bases, also to hit with power and good arm, today I want to present the players who have more respect for their opponents, either by their offensive power with the wood or by the intelligence they have shown when executing some plays.

 This time I will start with one of the youngest, the Dominican Republic born Juan Soto Pacheco, a 24 year old player who at the age of 20 achieved a World Series ring with the Washington Nationals, he was with that team until July of last year, he moved to the San Diego Padres and made it to the playoffs, unfortunately for him and the Padres, Soto lost the rookie of the year award to the Venezuelan Ronald Acuña Jr, but has evolved faster than the Venezuelan, these are the numbers of the Dominican for life in the majors, turns at bat 2136, 430 scored, 612 hits, 125 homers and projects about 500 to maintain his health, his RBI are: 374, a decent average of 287 and his OPS is 950, numbers that have led them to have one of the best contracts in the majors.

For many Mike Trout, is the new face of the MLB, it can be said that he took the position left vacant by Dereck Jeter at the time of retirement, Trout is one of the highest paid players, he is from the same generation of power outfielder Bryce Harper, multiple winner of the most valuable award of the American League, unlike Soto, he has not been able to win a World Series, he has not even played a championship series, His numbers during his career do not go to waste and show that he is a very complete player, 5094 innings, 1052 runs scored, 1543 hits, if his health allows it he can finish his career very close to three thousand hits, he has power and his 350 home runs certify it, 896 runs batted in, he can steal bases, he has 204 and a lifetime average of 303 points, despite having years of injuries his projections give him as one of the best in history.

If we talk about Trout as one of the best players in MLB today, we can leave out Bryce Aron Max Harper, a left-handed hitter feared by his opponents and admired by his teammates, he is the offensive reference of the Philadelphia Phillies, he was part of the Washington Nationals, He was one of the first picks of that team in the 2010 Draft, these are his lifetime numbers in the MLB, 4927 official turns at bat, 913 runs scored, 1379 hits, 285 home runs, 817 runs batted in, 280 average and an OPS of 913, he still has good seasons, since he is only 30 years old, everything indicates that he will continue to be a figure in the big leagues.

The new emblem of the New York Yankees Aaron Judge, could not miss in this list of players who stand out in the majors, not to say the best, he comes from one of the best seasons for any player, he broke a record for the team and for the American League, which was in force since 1961, which belonged to Rogers Maris, with 31 home runs, His career has been on the rise and he achieved a multi-year contract with the Big Apple Mules, Judge, accumulated 2638 times at bat, 535 runs scored, 748 hits, 220 homers, only last year he hit 25% of his lifetime total, he also has 497 pushes, an average of 284 and the Ops is quite high with 977, without a doubt this player is one of the figures of the moment.

Undoubtedly the Los Angeles Dodgers bought cheap when they acquired the services via trade of Mookie Betts, a versatile player who is one of the best right fielders, not only in the National League, I would say that of all the major leagues, his beginnings were in the Boston Red Sox, Betts was vital in the title achieved by the Dodgers in 2020, so far in his career he has 4460 at-bats, 1306 runs scored, 1306 hits, 213 homers, 649 RBI, 293 average and his OPS is 888, to these offensive numbers we can add that he is a golden glove at his position.

Finally I bring you the player from the land of the rising sun, that is Japan, this is the multifaceted Shohei Ohtani, this player will present double numbers, because he is a picher and also an excellent hitter, here are first of all his numbers as a pitcher for life in the MLB, as in Japan he also won in both facets, 63 are his openings so far in the big leagues, with 28 wins, 14 losses and a majestic effectiveness of 2. 96, 349.2 inins pitched and a WHIP of 1.09, numbers that any starter would envy. 

While on offense the Japanese exhibits 1986 legal turns or plate appearances, 326 runs scored, 530 hits, 127 home runs, 342 RBI, 267 average and an OPS of 886, in this publication we have talked about very complete ballplayers, but Othani's goes beyond that, Since Babe Ruht in the 1920's, we have not seen hitters of that caliber, who could also dominate their opponents as a pitcher, he already has an award as most valuable, and no doubt with only 28 years old, he will give much to talk about in the years to come in the big leagues.
