Summary
Despite the massive $1 billion contract, Juan Soto's first quarter with the Mets appears underwhelming, with a low OPS+ of 134. His struggles include hitting hard yet frequently swinging without contact and rumors about private flights being false. Still, his consistency in past seasons suggests potential for recovery as he adjusts to life in New York.
