LOS ANGELES -- The Juan Soto the New York Mets expected when they gave him the richest contract in sports history finally appeared in his purest form Wednesday night at Dodger Stadium by stealing the show without even putting the ball in play.

“One of the things that Juan Soto really wanted to work on this season was his throwing. He thought it could get better. And so this spring the Mets actually put him in the pitching lab for a day and gave him a full evaluation the same way they would any pitcher. They figured out that his throwing motion was pretty messed up.

Mets Star Francisco Lindor Had Strong Words for Juan Soto originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
