Juan Soto, outfielder for the New York Mets, has recently overcome a challenging start to the 2025 season marked by a 0-for-17 hitless streak, the longest since 2022. Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns acknowledged that Soto might be trying to do too much amid the team's slow start, a sentiment echoed in discussions about his performance. Despite this, Soto has shown resilience, snapping his slump with an RBI double and later hitting his first home run since May 9, which was part of a back-to-back homer with teammate Brandon Nimmo. Mets players and management have expressed confidence in Soto's ability to rebound and contribute significantly to the team. Pete Alonso praised Soto's consistency and composure, while Derek Jeter projected a long-term future for Soto with the Mets. In a decisive Mets win, Soto, Nimmo, and Jeff McNeil all hit home runs, energizing fans and signaling a potential turnaround for the team. Soto himself acknowledged that there is still a long way to go to fully overcome the team's slow start.
