Juan Soto's Hot Streak Amid Mets' Skid

0:00On May 2nd, the New York Mets own the worst record in Major League Baseball right now, sitting at 11 wins and 21 losses dead last in the National League East. Despite the skid, their standout performer is none other than Juan Soto, the highest paid player in the game and the team's unofficial, most valuable player. Soto's been battling a nagging injury all season, suiting up for just 17 of the Mets 32 games. That 12-game losing streak is still burning in the minds of players and fans everywhere, but Soto's been a bright spot, outshining most teammates. With his clutch contributions, his stats tell the story, batting 344 with an on-base plus slugging of 1.001 plus 11 walks that show he's back to. Owning the plate. The Mets need to fix their pitching to have any shot at the playoffs, since Soto can only do so much from the batter's box and outfield. If they rally the staff around his hot streak, things could flip quick. Stay locked in with New York Mets News Today, AI-powered updates.
