Juan Soto is struggling in his first season with the New York Mets, batting just .224 with eight homers and 25 RBIs over 55 games. His performance has drawn boos from fans, especially after a hitless game against the Chicago White Sox. Soto, who signed a massive $765 million deal, has not homered since May 9 and has recently experienced a 0-for-16 slump. Despite statistical struggles, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza remains optimistic about Soto's potential recovery, noting improvements in his batting stance.
"Soto's batting average has dipped 61 points below his career mark entering the season, hasn't homered since May 9, and has just seven hits in his last 59 at-bats."
"Mets manager Carlos Mendoza expressed faith in Soto, noting that despite poor stats, Soto passes the 'eye test' and his lower half positioning improved today."
