How can you beat a bully in a Juan Soto style? Hit him out of the park. Yes, that’s how Soto avenged a bully on Monday during the Mets game against the Cardinals. Soto’s $765 million contract was poised to make a lot of talks, and it did. Just as the spring season kicked in, critics were out in the daylight to ridicule the contract. But it’s not safe to ridicule a talent if the name is Juan Soto. Still, someone on the Monday game dared to shout, “Overpaid! Overrated!” aimed at Soto. Well, the Dominican certainly doesn’t think so.

Just after Soto gave a wild stare to the caller, it was the Mets’ turn to bat, a chance Soto would never miss. So, in the grass seat of the Florida venue, Soto hit a good shot that sailed through the air and landed almost with the caller. The guy ultimately got his due and showed Soto’s ability. The Mets prevailed 8-0 thanks to a shutout victory. Expectedly, this one home run was enough to send the fans go gaga over social media.

Till now, Soto is standing with 3 homers and 6 RBIs with 8-for-18. So, going in the right route proving $765 million worth. While it is just about time that critics will again be back to the park, Soto is always expected to have the last laugh. Nothing better for the Mets than Soto shutting down the bullies with his bat, leading the talks. For now, the social media is all flooded with praises and how blessed the Mets are to be getting him on the team.

Fans went gaga over Soto’s homer

It was all debated about Soto being a once-in-a-generation position player. After his homer, a fan shared the same emotion, saying, “We are blessed“. Rightly so. Who will not be blessed getting someone who touched 500 walks within his first 605 career games?

Monday’s game also showed the devastating bat swing of Juan Soto. An enthusiast shared how smooth Soto’s swing is. A work of art! Remember Soto’s 96th percentile and 76.2 mph swing detected in 2024?

Spring training is just the teaser of what is about to come once the regular season kicks in. A user shared how it will be a fun season going ahead. Absolutely. The upcoming season will witness a battle of titans, namely Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge, and Juan Soto. The three greats among the current roster will offer a worthwhile season for the fans.

A fan referred to Soto as the GOAT! Is it too early to consider as the greatest of all time? Soto is ahead of the yesteryear legends in a few areas, like he is leading in terms of walks through the age-25 season in MLB history. However, Soto has yet to get an MVP. Yes, Juan Soto is poised to become a GOAT.

Shining in the spring is fine, but what matters the most is getting to the postseason. A fan shared how Soto should try the same hits in the World Series. The Mets got a contending team this year, and hopefully, a Juan Soto show can be witnessed in the 2025 postseason.

While Juan Soto announced his arrival to the spring, it’s time to witness him excel in the regular season. There are a few more critics Soto needs to prove wrong going forward.
