Because Juan Soto isn&rsquo;t just a good hitter, he&rsquo;s <em>Juan Soto<\/em>. The one who, after a near-MVP campaign in 2024, signed a $765 million megadeal to be the centerpiece of the New York Mets&rsquo; next era.<\/p><p>But through 50 games in 2025, Juan Soto has looked mortal. Maybe even a little lost. He&rsquo;s hitting .236 with eight home runs, 21 RBI, and a .786 OPS. His on-base percentage, typically glued above .400, is sitting at .369. His slugging percentage is under .420. These aren&rsquo;t awful numbers, but they aren&rsquo;t Soto numbers. And for a player who just signed the richest contract in baseball history, the expectations don&rsquo;t allow for slow burns.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Worst 50-game start in Soto&rsquo;s career <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/NLzmHtebXt\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>https:\/\/t.co\/NLzmHtebXt<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Bob Nightengale (@BNightengale) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BNightengale\/status\/1926812628245983526?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>May 26, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Yes, he hit .236 back in 2022 too. But that version of Soto still posted a .382 OBP and a .831 OPS, and that was considered a down year. And because it&rsquo;s New York, everything is louder. Each hitless night fuels another theory. Is it the pressure of the contract? Regret over picking the Mets?

But that doesn&rsquo;t hold much water. He just spent a season at Yankee Stadium, a place where every at-bat is a referendum. If you can hit there, you can hit anywhere, and Citi Field doesn&rsquo;t come close to matching the Bronx for hostility. If anything, this should feel easier. It hasn&rsquo;t, not yet.<\/p><p>Which makes the early-season funk even harder to pin down. It might just be baseball being baseball, cruel, illogical, and deeply frustrating. One tweet pointing out Soto&rsquo;s slow start drew a top reply that read: <em>&ldquo;He should request a trade.&rdquo;<\/em> Which, given the timing and price tag, is hilarious in the way only baseball panic can be.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">He should request a trade.<\/p>&mdash; Ben (@TheHurricaneBen) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheHurricaneBen\/status\/1926812810601693194?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>May 26, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>And yet, baseball doesn&rsquo;t freeze-frame.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Juan Soto is Back?
