Mets’ new superstar doesn’t feel pressure to be ‘the guy’
Credit: Jim Rassol-Imagn ImagesNew York Mets superstar Juan Soto is not greatly moved by mounting expectations for him with his new ball club.
Per Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News (via Yahoo Sports), Soto had this to say about needing a roster full of talent to vie for a World Series as opposed to one superstar bearing the burden:
“I never said I could be the guy,” Soto said. “You need a whole team to go all the way. When you look around, teams that win the World Series have really good players with youth and everything. I think it takes more than one guy.”
