An outburst during an April 10th game against the Clearwater Threshers that made national headlines was his bat-wielding raid on their dugout.
He did this in retribution after being spiked while sliding into second base to try to break up a double play earlier in the frame.
There were no blows thrown after the initial altercation, but after order was restored, Soler grabbed a bat and walked towards the dugout, before being detained by coach Mariano Duncan and player Javier Baez.
As a result of his temper tantrum, he was immediately expelled and faced a suspension. He had a great start to the year, hitting .435 with two home runs in six games and a slugging percentage of 83%.
A five-game penalty was handed down to him by the league for his rant. The season ended on June 17th, when he was sidelined by a strained left calf, with a batting line of .281/.343/.467, 8 home runs, and 35 RBI.
