Update on Juan Soto's Great Career Start

This is an update on the last post. Since the season is over I thought it would be a good time to do this.

I used Stathead to find the OPS+ leaders thru age 21 with 1000 or more PAs. Juan Soto in great company. 11 of the other 14 are in the Hall of Fame (one of the three not in the Hall is Trout who most likely will be).

Carroll had several good years. But his OPS+ fell to 87 at age 26 in 1891 (just 2 years after a 183 that led the NL). That was his last season. He still finished with a 136 career OPS+ in 3290 PAs.

Magee had over 2000 career hits and a 137 OPS+.
