Mets to Discuss Lack of Hustle With Juan Soto
Carlos Mendoza said he plans to speak to superstar outfielder Juan Soto about his lack of hustle after Soto was held to a single in Monday's game against the Boston Red Sox on a ball that hit high off Fenway Park's Green Monster in a 3-1 loss. Soto thought the ball he hit was a home run, slowly jogging to first base before realizing the ball didn't leave the park and being held to a single. "I think I've been hustling pretty hard. If you saw it today, you could tell," Soto said. The 26-year-old also jogged slowly out of the box in Sunday's 8-2 loss to the Yankees on a ball up the middle in which he was thrown out by multiple steps. He's currently slashing .246/.376/.439 with eight homers and six steals in the first year of a 15-year, $765 million contract. Soto's on-base percentage, slugging and OPS are all the lowest marks of his career going into Tuesday's action.
