- Juan Soto, who has been selected to the All-Star team four times and earned five Silver Slugger awards, is experiencing a slump during his debut season with the New York Mets at Citi Field in 2025.
- Following Soto’s record-breaking $765 million free agent signing in December, his batting average has fallen to.224, which is notably lower than his usual career average as he struggles through his first season with the Mets.
- Soto has posted a.224 batting average with eight home runs and 25 RBIs over 55 games, but he has been hitless in his last 16 at-bats following a two-run double in a recent win against the Dodgers.

- Soto’s dry spell has led to boos from a sparse Citi Field crowd during a 9-4 loss to the White Sox, suggesting ongoing struggles as he hits just.119 in his last 59 at-bats.
