Juan Soto discusses the Mets' first of half of the season and his home run in the Mets' 3-1 win against the Royals

Soto got off to a rough start in his Mets career, logging a .752 OPS in April and batting just .219 in May. But he was scorching hot in June, hitting .322/.474/.722 with 11 homers and 20 RBIs in 27 games, which was enough to earn him the NL Player of the Month honors.

Yankees announcer Michael Kay took issue with a comment Juan Soto made this week after the new Mets outfielder was left off of the All-Star Game roster. Speaking to reporters after the news broke, Soto said “it happens,” and it’s “a part of baseball.” He was then asked a follow up question about whether he wanted to play in the game.

Despite the backlash, Soto made a strong All-Star case with his June performance, slashing .322/.474/.722 with 11 home runs and 20 RBIs. He even earned NL Player of the Month honors. But a sluggish start in April and May may have cost him the fan and manager votes.

Mets star Brandon Nimmo called out the league for their flawed process for snubbing Juan Soto in the All-Star game.
