Soto, who whose long double hit the top of the wall in right center field and narrowly missed being a grand slam, brought home Brett Baty and Francisco Lindor, but it wasn’t a bases-clearing hit as Starling Marte was thrown out at the plate to end the inning. Nevertheless, Soto’s hit was still a big one that gave the Mets a 4-2 lead.
When Juan Soto signed a $765 million contract with the rival New York Mets this winter, there was bound to be some fallout from the Yankees side of things. Howe
MLB’s highest paid player is having trouble adjusting to that title, according to his agent Scott Boras. But Soto also has evident mechanical issues.
The frustration lies in his approach. Soto’s plate discipline, once elite, has eroded into a frustrating blend of passivity and mistimed aggression. He isn’t chasing wildly, but he’s not punishing mistakes either. He’s present but not impactful — like a lighthouse with no beam.
Shortly before Juan Soto signed with the Mets, the Yankees were reportedly 'convinced' he was coming back to the Bronx.
