Juan Soto, now with the Mets, reflects on his altered approach at the plate due to changes in how pitchers are attacking him this season. Despite his impressive .409 on-base percentage, he noted fewer strikes and increased intentional walks compared to when he played with Aaron Judge in the Yankees lineup. In a recent game, he finally ended a 13-game home run drought, showcasing that he maintains his disciplined approach at the plate and willingly passes opportunities to his teammates.
It's definitely different. I had the best hitter in baseball hitting behind me... I was getting more attacked and more pitches in the strike zone.
I feel like I am trying to be the same: do damage when I can, and whenever they want to attack me I take my chances.
