Soto became the 64th Dominican-born player to reach 1,000 hits in MLB history, and it looks like he’s poised to continue climbing the all-time rankings this season. The next players ahead of him on the list are Frank Taveras (1,029), Pedro Feliz (1,065), Dámaso García (1,108), and Deivi Cruz (1,109).

The New York Mets entered Thursday night with a 45–29 record, sitting atop the NL East. Despite the skid, Mets superstar Juan Soto has started to find his rhythm following a slow start to the season.
