During June, Soto signed an extraordinary OPS of 1.196, the second highest in a month (minimum 100 plate appearances) in Mets history, only behind Darryl Strawberry, who recorded an OPS of 1.219 in June 1990.

Arguments for a Historic Month

• HR: 10+
• H: 20+
• R: 20+
• RBI: 20+
• BB: 20+
• OPS in June: 1.196 (2nd best in club history)

Soto, 26, has been a key piece in the Mets’ offensive resurgence this season, showcasing his ability to get on base, his tremendous power, and his fearsome plate discipline. His production positions him as a strong candidate for Player of the Month in the National League, and he even begins to consolidate solid arguments towards the MVP conversation. “He’s in an offensive moment that is rarely seen. Every time he stands at the plate, he’s a threat,” commented the team manager. With his performance in June, Juan Soto has not only elevated the Mets’ postseason aspirations, but has also reaffirmed his status as one of the most complete superstars in today’s baseball.
