Juan Soto and his empty calories are what the Mets need

In case you missed it, Juan Soto is finally starting to hit like the Juan Soto we know and love.

The New York Mets’ star free agent has been on an absolute tear in June, batting .346 with a .615 slugging percentage and 1.179 OPS. His batting average is up to .244 on the year and his OPS a respectable .820.

And on the power & production side this month, Juan Soto has chipped in…two home runs and four RBI. Not exactly a giant helping of offense. If anything, Juan Soto’s month has been closer to an artisanal Italian bread basket with hot honey and herbed garlic butter than the full steak dinner with a seafood tower.
