The article discusses Juan Soto's ongoing struggles during the early season with the Mets, including a lackluster performance against the Cardinals where he went 0-for-3. Despite his .221 average, Soto reflects on the importance of perseverance and growth, asserting that he's learned to handle challenges throughout his career. He acknowledges the need to adjust to being pitched differently without Aaron Judge behind him, while still managing to maintain a .773 OPS. Soto's hard contact rates during the game indicate that he is making solid contact, though results haven't yet come together for him.
Any frustration Soto has over his .221 average gets balanced by knowledge that struggles are just 'part of the game.' 'I just gotta keep grinding.'
Soto has still collected a .773 OPS and homered during two of the Mets' three games against the Twins earlier this week.
When Soto grounded into a double play, the ball left his bat with a 106.7 mph exit velocity. The hard contact was present again.
Soto told The Post he was focused on the Mets and his at-bats, knowing that his struggles were part of the game.
