"Something is not right with Juan Soto" - Fans concerned by Mets' $765M star's unsual approach at-plate vs. Red Sox's Garret Crochet
- Juan Soto, New York Mets star, struggled with an unusual batting approach during the May 21, 2025, game at Fenway Park against the Boston Red Sox.
- Soto's slump, including not swinging at several strikes and striking out three times, sparked concern among fans and criticism on social media.
