As soon as Juan Soto has signed a fifteen -year -old contract worth $ 765 million with the rivals of New York Yankees, the dishes, during the last dead season, we knew he was going to be entitled to an extremely low margin of error for the rest of his career in the MLB.
Sure sure, the supporters of the dishes do not expect anything less than a season of MVP caliber from Soto, not only for this year, but for the campaigns to come too.
And even if there is still a lot of time in Soto to put this kind of figures on the board in 2025, he did not have the start only or anyone imagined.
Indeed, although the Dominican struck a two -point circuit against the Minnesota Twins last night (Monday), it was only his second long ball of the year and his first safe blow with runners in a position to score all season.
This strike brought its average to the stick, 250 and its ops to, 829, an OPS in this way being respectable for almost all the players of the major baseball, but not for Soto who has a career in career, 951 in the regular season.
And the main interested party may have an explanation for his slow departure this season.
It is definitely different. I had the best batter of Baseball in Aaron Judge behind me last season, and I got more throws in the catch zone. I was faced differently last year. I would say that I get a decent number of sockets, but there are specific situations where launchers do not attack me.
Not strong, chef. According to Soto himself, was he not the best striker in the universe?
Not to mention that the fact that the man of the 26-year-old man finds that things are different this season implies that he is less protected in the offensive role. We salute his teammates in passing.
You only had to stay with the Yankees, Juan.
