Juan Soto showcased his typical skills during the two subway series games, safely reaching base half the times he came to bat.
His performance is a significant part of what justifies his status as the highest-paid player in history. Soto seems to be thriving under pressure, especially noticeable during his appearances at Yankee Stadium.
If he’s not being booed whenever he’s announced or whenever he makes a play, it’s easy to overlook him. But his presence is undeniable. Every gesture, every nod to the dugout feels loaded, especially in what was once his home. This three-game series in the Bronx serves as an early test of Soto’s abilities, especially after he turned down the Yankees’ massive $760 million offer.
This series has left some Yankee fans feeling mixed, and they certainly don’t appreciate being reminded of 2024 during these matchups.
