Juan Soto: Drives in 100 runs and enters the Bonds and Bagwell club in 2025

Santo Domingo. Dominican outfielder Juan Soto continues to make his mark in Major League Baseball. This Thursday, in the New York Mets’ 6-1 victory over the San Diego Padres at Citi Field, the slugger reached 100 RBIs for the season, entering a select group in MLB. Soto achieved his 100th RBI of the campaign, becoming the first player since 1999 to achieve a remarkable statistical line.

• 40 or more home runs
• 30 or more stolen bases
• 100 or more RBIs
• 100 or more walks in a season

Previously, only Barry Bonds and Jeff Bagwell had achieved this combination of power, speed, discipline, and run-producing ability. Bonds did it in 1996 and 1997, while Bagwell in 1997 and 1999. Since then, no other player had reached this level of comprehensive offensive performance, until Soto’s remarkable season in 2025. This achievement takes on greater relevance as it is his first year with the Mets, the team with which he signed a record contract of 765 million dollars for five seasons. “Juanjo” has met expectations, establishing himself as the offensive leader of New York.

It has been a special season, but there is still a long way to go. I am focused on helping the team reach the postseason.

Soto

With an on-base percentage of .394 and a consistent offense, the Dominican outfielder has combined his patience at the plate with an aggressive game on the bases. In an era dominated by home runs, Soto has proven to be a complete player, combining power, speed, and discipline. His impact has been key to the Mets staying in the fight for a playoff spot, and his name resonates in discussions for the National League Most Valuable Player award. With 44 RBIs after the All-Star Game, Soto arrives at the end of the season in top form, ready to continue adding historic numbers and lead the Mets in their October aspirations.
