Soto ends 13 home run droughts! It is difficult to expose the lack of protection from judges

New York Mets superstar Juan Soto has finally found his long-lasting firepower! Today (15th), he knocked out a two-point shot with a flight distance of 405 feet and a muzzle velocity of 107.9 miles against the Twin Cities, ending the embarrassment of 13 consecutive home runs without a home run and helping the team win the promotion 5-1.

Soto, who played for the Yankees in the same city last year, came to the Mets in the offseason on the largest contract in history for $765 million over 15 years. After the start of the second game of the new season, it fell into a two-week low tide without a home run, and it was not until today that the fourth hit faced the lost speed ball of the Twins right pitcher Jorge Alcala, and swept the second hit of the season, ending the recent home run drought and opening up the score for the team.

According to the New York Post, Soto talked about the reason for the ups and downs in the opening season, having played the second baseman in the Yankees line last year, and was protected by "Judge" Aaron Judge behind him, allowing him to often get more good shots. Now he has switched to the Mets, although he also played the second bat, but the follow-up fighter has become "Polar Bear" Alonso (Pete Alonso), and the opponent's strategy is obviously different.

'Alonso is of course a great hitter and can hit pitchers hard, but now it feels like more teams would rather play him than concede a good ball against me. "But I don't care, as long as I see a ball that I can play, I'm going to play it, and if the opponent wants to flash me, I'm happy to get on base and give it to my teammates," Soto said.

Another new "former Yankee" Holmes (Clay Holmes), who served as a Yankee finisher last year, switched to the starting position this season, and today threw 5 rounds of 8K and only conceded 1 point, winning his second win of the season.
