In some ways he looked like Juan Soto. There were back-to-back shuffles, which have been rarely seen this season, in a battle at the plate that ended in a walk. 

In other ways he did not look much like Juan Soto. There were uncertain swings, a strikeout, batting gloves that were flung and an 0-for-4 afternoon (with that walk) that dropped him to 2-for-27 in his past seven games.

Through the first two months of his Mets career, the $765 million man finished play with the worst batting average (.224) in the day’s lineup. 

If Soto’s first 55 games as a Met have not quite been disastrous, they certainly have not been ideal, the latest a personal dud in a team-wide dud of a 9-4 loss to the White Sox on Wednesday.
