Soto played as the second right fielder in the home game against the Washington Nationals at Citi Field on the 20th (Korea time), and led the team to a 12-6 come-from-behind victory by swinging two hits, three RBIs, two runs and two walks in three at-bats, including a home run.
Soto, who is showing his best pioneering and destructive power at the end of the season, hit 0.265 (145 hits in 547 at-bats), 42 home runs, 103 RBIs, 117 runs, 121 walks, 34 steals, a on-base percentage of 0.397, a slugging percentage of 0.534 and an OPS of 0.931. In September, he is batting .343 (23 hits in 67 at-bats), seven homers, 19 RBIs, 15 runs scored, and hitting an OPS of 1.154 in 17 games.
Soto, who was criticized for his poor batting average of 0.231 and OPS of 0.770 in the first two months of the season, has raised his pace since June, eventually achieving a performance worthy of his ransom at the end of the season.
The Mets, with Soto's hard hitting, continued their strong performance of 4 wins and 1 loss in the last five games, marking 80 wins and 74 losses, and firmly maintaining third place in the NL wild card. The win over the fourth-place Cincinnati Reds is 1.5 games, and the FanGraphs have an 83.0% chance of the Mets reaching the playoffs.

Then, with two outs and runners on the first and second bases, Francisco Lindor hit a left-handed hit to turn the tide to 5-4, and Soto's three-run home run burst. Soto hit a sweeper that fell to a low course in the middle of the 78.5 miles on the fourth pitch in the ball count 2B1S against left-hander PJ Pauline and flew well over the middle fence. If the parabola is drawn large at a launch angle of 36 degrees and 106.9 miles, the flying ball hits the screen behind the center fence and falls. The distance is 419 feet.
It is the first time in two days that Soto hit a home run since the game against the San Diego Padres on the 18th. It is already his seventh home run in September.
Soto, who struck out in his first at-bat in the bottom of the first inning, hit a right-handed hit in the third inning with two outs and a runner on the first and third bases, contributing to Pete Alonso's timely hit. He scored a three-run wedge in the fourth inning, followed by a walk in the fifth inning and an intentional four pitches in the eighth inning.
Soto hit his career high with the New York Yankees last year. It was the FA season. He hit .288 with 41 home runs, 109 RBIs, 128 runs scored, and an OPS of 0.989 in 157 games.
And after the season, he signed a 15-year, $765 million contract with the Mets through the FA Tour, achieving the largest ransom in global sports history.
Analysts say he has overcome his slump early this season and is leading the Mets to advance to the playoffs. With the Mets with eight games left, Soto is likely to hit a career high following a home run.
