Call it the nature of fandom, call it unrealistic expectations, call it Yankee entitlement, call it whatever you want. But let’s be real: Juan Soto’s first two months as a Met felt weird. But since then, Soto has turned up the heat, and is on pace to have another statistically excellent season. And yet, Soto was not named to represent the Mets on the 2025 National League All-Star Game roster.
Through April 30th, Soto’s Met career was off to a slow start:
.241/.368/.384, 117 wRC+, 3 HR, 12 RBI, 2 SB, 16.
