New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto stated he feels no added pressure despite a slow start to his season, expressing confidence after hitting his first two home runs at Citi Field in a loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Soto, who signed a 15-year, $765-million contract in December, emphasized his comfort level with the team and dismissed the notion of pressure, attributing the game’s outcome to the homers not being enough for a win. Currently, he holds a .252/.379/.443 batting line with five home runs and 14 RBIs over 32 games this season.
