2023 Athletics Season in Review: Tyler Soderstrom
Kiyoshi Mio-USA TODAY SportsTyler Soderstrom, a 22-year-old top prospect, excited many A’s fans upon his midseason call-up but looked outmatched and not developed enough in his limited chances.
How Acquired
Soderstrom was selected 26th overall out of high school in the 2020 MLB Draft on June 10, 2020.
What were the expectations?
The A’s top overall prospect and MLB’s no. 39 prospect heading into 2023, Soderstrom was projected to break the big league level this season and preview his dangerous bat for years to come. A catcher and first baseman, Soderstrom was expected to add some depth behind everyday starters like Shea Langeliers and Ryan Noda.
