Juan Soto, the All-Star outfielder, is experiencing a noticeable change in how pitchers approach him this season. With a current on-base percentage of .409 but only one home run and four RBIs, Soto reflects on the difference in lineup protection compared to last year, when Aaron Judge provided significant support in the Yankees lineup. This season, without such heavy-hitting support, he's being pitched differently, seeing more challenging pitches and experiencing an uptick in intentional walks.
With the best hitter in baseball behind me, I got more strikes, more attacks, and fewer intentional walks. It's definitely different this year.
Juan Soto's current numbers fall into the 'What's up with that?' category as he boasts a .409 on-base percentage but only one homer and four RBIs.
