The first round of the Subway Series is complete, but Mets outfielder Juan Soto is the last player on anyone’s minds. Well, save for maybe a handful of shitkickers on X/Twitter.
Soto continued his aggressively mediocre season in his return to the Bronx, where the boo-birds nested aplenty. The former Yankees rental went 1 for 10 in the series with two runs scored. He struck out three times and saw his batting average dip to .246.
What’s more, it was a fairly one-sided series. The Yankees outscored the Mets 16-7. We should also note that, across three games in the baseball matchbox that is Yankee Stadium, the Mets failed to hit a single home run.
