Juan Soto's recent performances have been under scrutiny, particularly regarding his hustle during games. During a broadcast, Gary Cohen and Keith Hernandez criticized Soto for not running hard out of the box, which may have cost him a base in a previous game against the Yankees and contributed to a disappointing showing against the Red Sox. Soto's effort, especially after a lackluster Subway Series, raised concerns about his commitment, with Cohen emphasizing his need to improve his on-field hustle to regain fan support.
"Didn't run hard out of the box might have cost himself a base," Gary Cohen said during Monday's broadcast of the play the previous night, before turning the focus onto the current situation.
"He and [Pete] Alonso both have been guilty of thinking that the ball was going out to left field and not running hard to first base," Cohen said. "Alonso got thrown out at second and Soto barely got to first."
"But it is part of a larger pattern with Soto," Cohen added. "He's not running hard all the time and this is something he really needs to clean up."
Soto has been facing greater scrutiny since the end of the weekend's Subway Series series, after he was more or less a non-factor in his first trip back to the Bronx after leaving in the offseason for the Mets.
