Juan Soto, the New York Mets' outfielder, has been moved from the second lineup position to the third in an effort to enhance his performance during a challenging period. With a subpar batting average and limited success at the plate since signing a significant 15-year, $765 million contract, manager Carlos Mendoza acknowledges the heightened scrutiny surrounding Soto. Mendoza believes that adjusting Soto's position in the lineup could provide a fresh perspective and help him regain his form and confidence.
Juan Soto has yet to find his groove at the plate in 48 games into his massive contract, slashing .247/.379/.437 with eight home runs.
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza believes that shifting Soto from No. 2 to No. 3 in the lineup might help change his current slump.
