Collects 500th hit Soto went 2-for-4 with a double in Friday's loss to the Giants.

Impact While the Nationals only managed six hits in total on the night, Soto still reached a big career milestone in the third inning as he laced his 500th career hit -- among active players, he's the sixth-youngest to achieve that mark after Bryce Harper, Mike Trout, Miguel Cabrera, Manny Machado and Albert Pujols. The 23-year-old Soto is slashing .278/.451/.500 through 16 games this season with three homers, three RBI and 11 runs scored.

On base three times in loss Soto went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 11-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Impact The 23-year-old superstar now has a stunning 14:7 BB:K through his first 14 games as the opposition tries to make sure he doesn't beat them, and so far the approach seems to be working. While Soto has a .277/.452/.511 slash line and has scored 10 runs, his only RBI have come on three solo shots.

On base four times Friday Soto went 2-for-3 with two walks and two runs scored in Friday's 7-2 win over the Pirates.

Impact The 23-year-old continues to draw free passes at a furious pace and now has eight through the first nine games of the season, fueling a .425 OBP. Soto's power stroke hasn't come around yet, but it's only a matter of time before he starts doing real damage on any pitches that do get left over the plate, and until then he'll rely on Josh Bell and Nelson Cruz hitting behind him to bring him home.

Belts second homer Soto went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 16-4 loss to Atlanta.

Impact He took Bryce Elder deep in the sixth inning, but the Nationals were already in an 11-1 hole at that point. Soto's homer was his second of the season, but both have been solo shots to account for his only RBI through six games. The 23-year-old's .286/.423/.571 slash line is outstanding as per usual, but Soto's run production this year could be hampered by the state of the lineup around him.

Two hits Saturday Soto went 2-for-4 in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Mets.

Impact The 23-year-old superstar accounted for half of the Nationals' hits on the day. Soto is having the kind of start to the season you might expect, going 3-for-10 with a solo home run and a 2:2 BB:K through three games, but if the rest of the Washington offense continues to struggle around him, runs and RBI could be tough to come by.
