2025 Around The League Thread

[bravesfanMatt]

Probably should cut the old man some slack. Harder to hustle at his age.

Soto...
Xwoba .435
WOBA .359
Babip .259 (career .303)
EV 94.2 (career 92.5)

I wish there were something for the Mets to be worried about

Mets aren't worried. It's just the usual NY media harping on something.

To the casual fan Soto is struggling because the end results for him aren't like what they usually are at the moment. And he just signed a mega deal making 50 million a year. It's an easy target in a market with a ton of people to gobble it up.

Sure hate for that situation to become toxic or anything detrimental to the Mets !

Stick a fork in Jose Altuve. He's done.

 

[The Tariff King]

Crazy to think Altuve is 35.

Ozzie’s sprint speed was 80th percentile earlier in the year.

 

[Tapate50]

He has gone to completely sidearming

That Soto contract is gonna be rough. Once most of these guys get paid they lose hustle

When is the last time you saw Ozuna hustle?

Great hitters tend to stay great hitters as long as they take of themselves. But for sure, Soto will either be at 1b or a primary DH within 3-4 years.

I mean, maybe by year 10. It’s such a long contract that the odds are in favor of it going poorly by the end of it. But, Soto isn’t in danger of falling off anytime soon.

Ozuna didn't just sign a 15 year contract. A lot of guys get paid and then don't perform as well as before when they were working toward a big pay day. Hopefully Soto isn't one of them bc he makes the game more exciting. Ozuna is 8 years older also.

Soto has an amazing eye and that's what will help him age as he starts to DH. 15 years is a long time.

 

[zbhargrove]

Soto’s statcast data and expected stats are through the roof. He will likely be fine for a long time

 

[bravesfanMatt]

I am sure Soto will tell his grandkids about how the Mutts overreacted this year....






when they come and visit him this year for memorial day.

Andruw is gonna be managing the Netherlands in the WBC next year
