Juan Soto is still adjusting to playing for the Mets but he may have turned a corner Saturday, coming through with a clutch, two-run double.

For the last 10 days, baseball enthusiasts wondered what was wrong with Juan Soto. After signing a 15-year, $765 million contract with the Mets last winter, Soto was expected to be the big man on the team.

Soto, who whose long double hit the top of the wall in right center field and narrowly missed being a grand slam, brought home Brett Baty and Francisco Lindor, but it wasn’t a bases-clearing hit as Starling Marte was thrown out at the plate to end the inning. Nevertheless, Soto’s hit was still a big one that gave the Mets a 4-2 lead.

The frustration lies in his approach. Soto’s plate discipline, once elite, has eroded into a frustrating blend of passivity and mistimed aggression. He isn’t chasing wildly, but he’s not punishing mistakes either. He’s present but not impactful — like a lighthouse with no beam.

It’s a chicken-and-egg scenario — is he swinging less because he’s hitting less or the other way around? — but manager Carlos Mendoza did agree Friday that Soto could benefit from being more aggressive in the box.

Each Juan Soto at-bat has seemingly become an invitation for criticism, from his lack of hustle twice in the past week to him bizarrely staring down seven straight pitches — including six strikes — in his first two at-bats against the Red Sox on Wednesday night.
