Mets star Juan Soto has finished third in NL MVP voting. 

Soto comes in behind Shohei Ohtani, who took home the award unanimously, and Kyle Schwarber. 

The star outfielder received just four second place votes and 15 third place votes. 

Despite the third place finish, Soto certainly made a very compelling case to be among the top three in voting. 

The 27-year-old was able to overcome a slow start to put together a tremendous first season in orange and blue. 

He broke his career-high in homers set last season in the Bronx, finishing third in the NL with 43. 

Soto drove in 105 runs and drew a league-high 127 walks to help him finish with a .396 OBP and .921 OPS.

He also added a new dimension to his game, swiping a new career-best 38 bases, which was tied for the NL lead and was just two away from the first 40-40 season in franchise history. 

This is Soto’s third time being an MVP finalist and his sixth top-10 finish across eight big-league seasons.
