NBC is regularly pulling "MLS Cup Final"-like numbers (~1m) nearly every league round and the NBCSN numbers haven't suffered a bit since launching Peacock. Certainly, a year they must be happy about.

US Cable Soccer Viewership, Dec 22-28
NBCSN's Premier League coverage fills the table last week but they were bumped off the top spot by the CCL final that featured Tigres and LAFC. Over on traditional NBC, the match between Chelsea and Arsenal pulled 1.16 million viewers on Boxing Day.

My Highest Rated 20 and Under MLS
This is a high-level look at MLS players 20 and under (as of season end). I'm using Minutes, Passing, Goals/Assists as quick indicators of quality. Obviously, there is more to the game than that, but this is just a way to clear the clutter a bit.
Hell Score is my own player rating system. I've used it since 2011. It uses traditional box score stats and mixes in overall team performance vs the rest of the league.
Minutes - often a missed or undervalued key indicator of quality. I mean the coach wouldn't play you if you were horrible, right (Sebastian Berhalter)?
Passing - shorthand for good with the ball
Scoring - where the money is made.
Here's everyone 20 and under.

Hell Score is my own player rating system. I've used it since 2011. It uses traditional box score stats and mixes in overall team performance vs the rest of the league.
The top chart shows the number of passes/passing percentage. The top right corner - the good passers. Bit of a gap, too.
The bottom chart shows minutes played and Goals+Assists per 90 minutes no penalties.
WHO I LIKE
Brenden Aaronson, James Sands, Cole Bassett, Luis Binks, Gianluca Busio. About in that order. Aaronson is already on the move. Bassett might be. I don't expect Binks to hang around MLS. I really like Sands but I don't see much attention around him. Busio's level might be MLS, which is fine.
