Juan Soto (27, New York Mets), who became the world's most expensive sports player, is bottoming out.메이저놀이터
The New York Mets had a home game against the Chicago White Sox at City Field in New York, New York, USA on the 28th (Korea time).
Soto, who started as the New York Mets' No. 3 starter and right fielder on the day, had no hit in four times at bat and had one strikeout. On the other hand, the rest of the starters had hits.
In other words, Soto was the only one who failed to contribute 12 hits to six points. Soto, who signed a 15-year-$765 million contract and paid 51 million dollars a year this season, became useless.
His overall performance is also very poor. Soto had a batting average of 0.228, eight homers and 25 RBIs, and an on-base percentage of 0.355 OPS of 0.756 in 54 games this season.
As a result, Soto had only 0.8 FWAR and 120 wRC+ until the day. He is ranking 68th among players who have completed the required number of at-bats.
For one positive, Sun Yat-sen. Soto has a walk-and-strikeout ratio of one to one with 41 walks and 41 strikeouts. That's an excellent number.
Despite Soto's very low batting average of 0.228, his on-base percentage was relatively high at 0.355. Many walks are increasing the difference between the on-base percentage and the batting average.
However, the New York Mets did not give Soto a 765 million dollar contract in hopes of such a performance. What the New York Mets want is an explosive blow last year.
Soto had a batting average of 0.288, 41 homers and 109 RBIs, and an on-base percentage of 0.419 OPS of 0.989 in 157 games last year for the New York Yankees.
In order for the New York Mets to show what they want, they need to increase their hitting accuracy first. More home runs should be made here.
