Juan Soto broke out of a significant hitting slump during a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, hitting a pivotal double that led to a victory for the New York Mets. This moment came amidst scrutiny over Soto's performance and body language following his substantial contract. The 399-foot hit marked just his sixth hit with runners in scoring position this season, suggesting a need for consistency. Despite a rocky start this season, manager Carlos Mendoza remains confident in Soto's abilities and anticipates better days ahead for the young star.
When I hit it, I was just like, 'Don't catch it.' Nobody did. The ball traveled 399 feet, giving the Mets a lead they would not relinquish.
I don't listen to any of that... I focus on what we're doing in here,” stated Soto, affirming his resolve despite the scrutiny surrounding him.
He's too good of a player. I know the player. I know how he goes about his business, and it's only a matter of time before he busts out.
The struggles — plus questions about his hustle and body language over the last week — prompted widespread discussion about his decision to sign with the Mets.
