The Dominican, as well as his companions, Lindor and Alonso, were totally frozen by the Yankees picheo.

There was much talk, prior to the newly completed weekend, of the first clash of the year among the New York Mets and the New York Yankeesnot only for being one of the most important rivalries of baseball of Major Leaguesbut, for the first time, after choosing the Mets in the free agency, Juan Soto would return to Bronx to face the team with which he reached the World Series In 2024.

Everyone wanted to know what reaction fans would have, the players of the Yankeesif the atmosphere and the series itself would be a moment at the height of the player or if it would be duty, the questions were many and of various topics, and in the end we obtained all the answers, although perhaps not in the expected form.

After his first turn, in which, Soto He was booed in an overwhelming way, despite the fact that there were many people who also applauded him and later, when he took the right garden for the first time, leaving us an iconic image of the public in the stands turning our backs, the Dominican was no factor during the ‘Subway Series‘.

Except for a hit, which eventually became a race during the second game, Soto was completely disappeared offensive. That hit was his only one in ten shifts over three games, he scored twice, he stole two bases and received four transfers, while strucking three times. That was all.

However, it is fair to give credit to the pitchers of the Yankeesbecause Soto He was not the only great player of the Mets It was not a factor during the series. Francisco Lindor He connected a hit in twelve shifts, towed two and scored once, while Pete Alonso He connected two hits, towed a lap and struck out five times. In summary accounts, it was not only Soto who was missing, but the core of the Mets He left much to be desired.

With the series in the books, it only remains to wait for the next clash between Yankees and Metswhich will be held at the Citi Field, home of the last, from July 4 to 6.
