You sure?
Soto was in A ball to start the year and missed almost all of 2017. He was in the mid-20s in most pre-season lists and had been promoted off of them by the time the mid-season lists came out.
Acuna and Vlad were 1-2 on all pre-season lists with Freddie Tatis in 3rd on most of them, IIRC. Forrest Whitley was generally the top pitching prospect until his PED suspension.
I don't recall Soto being as much as a top 20 guy anywhere I looked.
