New York Mets Juan Soto, who has the highest ransom in sports history, continued his rise in June with two home runs.
In the home game against the Atlanta Braves at Citi Field on the 26th (Korea time), Soto led the team to a 7-3 victory by scoring two RBIs and two runs with two solo shots.
The Mets, led by Soto's performance, broke their three-game losing streak, marked 47 wins and 34 losses, and narrowed the gap with the Philadelphia Phillies (47 wins and 33 losses) leading in the NL East to 0.5 games.
The Mets have won only two games in their last 12 games so far. This was largely due to the fact that major hitters except Soto fell into a recession together. During this period, the average score per game was only 3.42 points, except for the game against Philadelphia on the 23rd, when he scored 11 points, he scored only 2.73 points.
On this day, he won a pleasant victory over Atlanta with Soto's two home runs and the concentration of the batters, who had three hits in six at-bats in the scoring position.
Soto hit a 413-foot solo shot off right-hander Didier Fuentes' 93.8-mile fastball in the bottom of the fourth inning when the score was 1-1, followed by a 6-1 leadoff hitter in the seventh inning and pulled left-hander Austin Cox's 92.4-mile fastball to make a solo shot to the left.

In June alone, he has a batting average of 0.325 (25 hits in 77 at-bats), 10 homers, 18 RBIs, 22 runs, 23 walks, and an OPS of 1.238. The home run ranking in June is tied with Seattle Mariners Carl Raleigh, the season's No. 1 home run, Arizona Diamondbacks Eugenio Suarez, and Los Angeles Angels Joe Adele. He has hit five home runs in the last five games. With this momentum, NL 'June Player' is the most likely.
Fellow pitcher Rhein Stanek "Soto is such a spectacular player. There are not many players who can play like Soto."
It is the 27th time in his career that Soto hit a multi-home run. He has become the sole leader in the multi-homer game rankings before the age of 27 in Major League history, beating Jimmy Fox, Melot, and Eddie Matthews. Soto rejoiced, `The record is really wonderful to me.'
Soto has achieved a series of personally meaningful records this month, including a career-high 1,000 hits last week. In the history of the Mets, Soto is the second player to have 10 home runs and 20 walks on a monthly basis after Daryl Strawberry in 1987.
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said, `This is why I buy tickets and come to the ballpark. Seeing a player like Soto is like watching a show of sorts. Pay for the ticket to see Soto come to the plate," he exclaimed.

Soto's relaxed comment comes to mind again. In an interview with NJ.com on April 22, when he rarely found a clue, he was working on adapting to the rhythm and adjusting the timing. I haven't reached the level I want yet, but I feel like I'm getting a little better every day"You can do much better than you have done so far. The season-ending numbers will tell you. We have to wait and see until the end." It wasn't an empty word.
