One Soto was back with the New York meds after two weeks away playing for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic. The star outfield a return to the lineup on Thursday and a six to two win over the Houston Astros and he says the tournament left him feeling. Sharper than ever, just a week before opening day. His timing could not be better. After the classic, Soto struggled in spring training with just two hits and 12 at-bats over five games. But in six games for his national team, he batted six for 23 with two home runs, four runs batted in, five walks, and even a stolen base. Soto raved about the whole of in, calling it one of the highlights of his career, despite his team semi-final loss to the United States. He went zero for two, with a walk in a run scored in his meds debut back. But the boost in confidence shows. Posted out most was the wisdom from Dominican legends like David Ortiz, Pedro Martinez,

Last year in his first med season, he posted a slash line of 263 over 396 over 525 with 43 home runs, 105 runs batted in, and a career high 38 stolen bases. Now he is set to build on that and help push the team toward the playoffs.
