Congratulations to the great Juan Soto
Congratulations Juan Soto on becoming the 2022 Major League Baseball All-Star Game Home Run Derby Winner! Baseball fans around the world are blessed to witness the extra super awesome things this great young man has accomplished.
I must remind you people that Soto is super awesomely young at 23 years of age. Soto won a World Series ring as a teenager at 19. In 2020 and 2021, the great Soto won Silver Slugger Awards. He also has a batting title under in his trophy hardware collection. Today, Soto has the 2022 MLB All-Star Home Run Derby Winner Awards and Trophies. What a super awesome Major League Baseball player. Soto is also a super awesome defensive player, which the media doesn’t give him credit for.
In my heart and soul, the great Soto is the greatest player to ever play the sport of baseball. Remember, Soto is only 23 years of age and has accomplished what the majority of Major League Baseball players wish they had in their entire career. What an extra super awesome ambassador of Major League Baseball the universe has in the great Juan Soto. Enough said, case closed.
