The New York Mets just shook up their bullpen, and Joel Sherman passed along a perfect scouting note from an executive who knows Gregory Soto well. The reliever “is most likely to hit one, walk two, and strike out three in an inning”. That’s not just a quirky line; it’s a late-inning rollercoaster packed into one pitcher, perfectly capturing the Mets’ newest high-voltage weapon.
Soto isn’t a flawless reliever, but he’s a flamethrower with enough strikeout ability and flair to keep hitters guessing. He can turn a routine inning into something special and bring the kind of energy the Mets’ bullpen has been craving.
