One of the players struggling to hit is Juan Soto . He is hitting just .121 in May, and now is speaking out about why he is not hitting well, per SNY.
“I’ve just been missing a lot of balls. They’ve been throwing me pitches right there, and I’ve just been a little under,” Soto said.
So far in May, Soto has just four hits in 33 at-bats, while also having five walks. Meanwhile, he has just two RBIs and three runs scored. Further, he has struck out eight times. Soto also did not have a hit in the series with the Diamondbacks, going 0-10 with two walks and two strikeouts.
Soto is hitting .264 with four home runs, ten RBIs, and a .364 on-base percentage after starting the season strong. He finished April with a .345 batting average and a .441 on-base percentage, but has seen his batting average plummet during the recent cold snap.
