Marcus Stroman thinks Juan Soto is Major League Baseball's best player, and the New York Mets right-hander seemingly doesn't have a doubt in his mind that the Washington Nationals outfielder will be an all-time great.

Stroman continued to compliment Soto in various tweets Saturday, calling the 22-year-old a rare commodity in today's game thanks to his disciplined plate approach.

Soto is making a push for the National League MVP award thanks to an otherworldly second half, which includes a .377/.547/.706 slash line with 18 homers, 50 RBIs, and 77 walks in 64 games.
