Juan Soto's recent performance with the New York Mets has been underwhelming, marked by an 0-for-4 game against the White Sox, dropping his average to 2-for-27 in his last seven games.
After 55 games with the Mets, Soto's batting average sits at a low .224, the worst in the lineup on that particular day. His struggles have been evident in inconsistent swings and strikeouts.
Soto's poor performance is compounded by the Mets' overall struggles, as highlighted by their 9-4 loss to the White Sox. This underscores broader team issues, not just an individual player's slump.
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.
