Access the Mets beat like never before

Don’t miss Mike Puma’s text messages from Queens and beyond — he’s giving Sports+ subscribers the inside buzz on the Mets.

Since Memorial Day weekend, the two best hitters in the majors have been Aaron Judge and Juan Soto — tops in OPS over the last month and a half.

The powerful duo led the Yankees to the best record in the American League last year, and Judge has proven he can will them to the playoffs nearly single-handedly.

Now, it’s Soto’s turn to take over New York with his own team.

Despite a rocky start to his tenure in Queens that resulted in an All-Star snub, Soto has looked much more like the player who dominated at the plate in each of his previous stops.
