SOTO HEATING UP! Juan Soto goes deep for the Mets! THIRD home run in his last 4 games! 🔥

And Soto fouled out his first time up the door at second with one out and Soto takes a slider down ball one let's check in with Steve Gelb Steve Gary last night we documented how Juan Soto is getting exponentially better every time he sees a starting pitcher throughout the course of a game each passing time and you know it's not by accident the improvement obviously he's got a lot of natural talent can take a lot of information in with what he is seeing and transmit it to his next at bats but in between at bats when he's not in the field he will go down into the tunnel he will look at video trying to figure out what pitchers are trying to do to him and then he will sometimes go into the cage and actually take batting practice during the game working on specific things really. Yeah. And Jeremy Barnes the hitting coach he likened him actually to J.D. Martinez what we saw from him last year very proactive with his at bats during games of course the difference is J.D. Martinez was a D.H. Soto does this will also play in the field. Well it's interesting it's a different world and that curve ball balloons up by three and one to Soto with Alonzo on deck. He is having issues with his secondary pitches especially the curve ball he's living up high and that slider gear which I thought was a change up. He's missing the low with it. So as a hitter OK he's not getting his breaking ball over. I'm sitting on the fastball rainwater Soto and he checks the swing takes a strike three to Steve he's still with us. Yes I'm here. Yeah I'm wondering when you talk to Jeremy Barnes about that are there other position players who take swings during the game. Yeah they're playing the field. There are. But I don't think anybody I shouldn't say I don't think anybody but it sounds like this is something that Soto does more consistently than others. I asked Lindor about it he said he you know it's not part of his routine but this is something they've noticed from Soto from day one. This is a part of his daily routine. He will go down in the cage during the games and take some constant hacks usually it's the D.H. is that that go in and try to do they don't go out in the field and stay active to blast one out to right back goes Hernandez he takes a look and it's out of here. One Soto with a two run homer is a limit for the year to get the Mets back within a run five straight games with an extra base hit for Soto this one a two run homer into the pavilion. Well whatever he did between the first and second at bat paid off handsomely. Yes it did. And he got a fastball here three and two count and it's right down Broadway. And he almost went down to a knee on that swing. Number nine Brandon Demo.
