Juan Soto experienced a significant improvement at the plate during a series against the Cardinals, culminating in a season-high three RBIs in a 7-4 victory for the Mets. While opting not to disclose specific mechanical adjustments, Soto emphasized the impact of fans' support at Citi Field, particularly during a preemptive standing ovation that lifted his spirits. Despite a challenging start to his time with the Mets, Soto's performance rebounded positively, aided by a key conversation with manager Carlos Mendoza about reclaiming his swing.
"It's a great feeling when you have a fan base supporting you. When you're doing bad, when you're doing good. It's just great. I really appreciateâ¦"
"A hundred percent, I was like, after my first at-bats [two groundouts], why are they getting up and cheering like that? That's kind of exciting. I really enjoyed it."
