JUAN SOTO VS BRYCE HARPER STATS SERIES
With the Mets having World Series aspirations this fall, Conforto has the opportunity to be a big part of their success. His 118 career home runs are the third most in franchise history for a player through his age-27 season behind only Darryl Strawberry (215) and David Wright (169). Still only 28 years old, Conforto has quietly been the Mets’ most consistent bat of the last four years. Yet he will be crucial to the Mets’ success this season, figuring to bat fourth between Lindor and Alonso.

Acuña is arguably more accomplished than Soto in winning individual accolades, as the Braves outfielder has two Silver Sluggers to Soto’s one in addition to edging him out for the NL Rookie of the Year award in 2018.Īcuña is also a better fielder and baserunner, playing multiple outfield positions well and primarily hitting leadoff for the Braves so far in his career.
