Seems like Juan Soto is gradually settling into his groove. While his debut with the Mets didn’t go as expected, things changed during the intense showdown between the Mets and the Cardinals. Just like the weather is heating up, Juan Soto is also trying to get back his form. More exciting, though, is Juan Soto’s unexpected discovery, which could be detrimental to the other Major League Baseball teams.
Although he may have had a slow start, Juan Soto’s season-high three RBIs have helped the team defeat the Cardinals 7–4. Soto revealed that his swing of the bat has improved when he tried to hit the ball the opposite way. But there were others as well.
Pete Alonso gave a scintillating start, due to which no one was actually worried about Soto. And if that’s not enough, we have Brandon Nimmo, who prevented a home run by Jordan Walker in the sixth inning.
Juan Soto, on the other hand, went 2-for-3 with a walk and a double while driving three runs and an extra run in the 7-4 victory. He even managed to hit a fly ball, scoring another run at the bottom of the third inning, and later a single in the fifth inning, accompanied by a walk in the seventh inning. Now batting an average of .256, Juan Soto makes a surprising reveal: “Every time I hit the ball the opposite way is when my swing is the best. I felt like that swing was really good; there were definitely a couple more things that we had to look at, we found it, and now we’re rocking.”
Coming to this surprising discovery that Juan Soto made, it looks like he has found his way back to his usual form. So, these are good signs for him as well as the Mets, especially when you go nine straight games without a single run. So, if you are concerned about Soto’s form and the constant debates surrounding him on social media, there’s not much to worry about.
However, it’s definitely a worrying sign for the other teams. Everyone is aware of Juan Soto’s abilities, and when he gets into his groove, the Mets become a formidable team. Sunday night saw the best of him, as he, along with three other hitters, collectively recorded seven hits out of the 11 by the team and even scored six of the seven runs.
The crowd was elated watching their favorite star doing his best as they got on their feet to share their appreciation for him. For Soto, the support from the fanbase tends to act as a source of motivation, which can allow him to perform better in the upcoming games as well.
Juan Soto receives a standing ovation after his rise from a major slump
In a game that captured both the essence of the faceoff and unwavering support from the fans, Juan Soto stood up. Soto’s most recent appearance provided some indications of his potential amidst the tremendous strain of the enormous contract and the extremely high expectations. Amid the cheer of the crowd, Soto finally let his bat do the talking. He went 2-for-3 against the Cardinals in the final game on Sunday, and his batting average reached a peak of .256. But that’s not all!
Soto even managed to push the ball in the left-centre gap against Cardinals hitter Ryan Fernandez, scoring a two-run double. The exit velocity peaked at 106.9 mph when hitting the ball, and we knew Soto was gradually getting into the groove, getting his swing back. All this became possible after the Citi Field audience gave him a standing ovation when he was at his at-bat. Soto expressed his love for the support he has been getting, “It’s been great; this crowd has been unbelievable day in and day out. I really love the support. They’ve been great since day one, so thank you.”
The Mets are dominating on their home ground, and with Soto gradually getting his swing better, we hope that the dominance continues in the upcoming three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies. Hoping for the old Soto to be back! Aren’t you?
