We keep saying Soto hasn't hit "yet"

But, he was not a good hitter for a whole lot longer in his career than he was a good hitter. What if this is just him?

Also, am I the only one who thinks he has definitely put on some weight? He attributed his two breakout years to losing a lot of weight, and claims he still kept it down this offseason, but to my eye, he looks pudgier than last year.
