The bottom line: Even while Mets Twitter wrings its hands, Soto is producing at a rate that’s 37% better than league average. That kind of “struggle” would be a career year for most big leaguers. As Mintz says, “That's why Juan Soto is different. … The struggle, the strife, the worry is about a guy who is 37% better than the average hitter.”

It appears that New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto is turning a corner.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo is predicting a breakout for Juan Soto following their 7-4 win over the Louisville Cardinals on Sunday. "He’s going to be as hot as a firecracker here pretty soon," Nimmo said, per Newsday Sports' Tim Healey.
