This time of year, nearly all Major League Baseball discourse revolves around the Trade Deadline. For contenders like the Mets, most of that discussion is about the areas they can improve.

The New York Mets' star, Juan Soto, is showcasing the best performance of his career so far this regular season. He recently reached a milestone that matches one achieved by two MLB legends nearly 90 years ago.

The first time, it was Soto on Soto crime: Gregory faced Juan, and though the latter hit it hard, the former won the battle, inducing a ground out for the first of the two outs he’d need to escape the inning. The second time, he faced Francisco Lindor, Soto and Pete Alonso, retired all three, and got Soto looking on a pinpoint slider at the knees.

Innings six through eight was a battle of strong performances out of the pen. On the Mets side, Huascar Brazobán pitched around two hits to throw a scoreless sixth. and Rico Garcia had an impressive seventh and eighth innings, striking out three in two perfect frames.

Since arriving in New York, Juan Soto has shared the clubhouse with players who’ve made a name for themselves in a Mets uniform—veterans who’ve reached major career milestones like 1,000 MLB games.

Lately, every day has felt like a grind, and if changing the lineup doesn't work, then the Mets have to seek other methods.

With 10 home runs and 24 RBIs in June, Soto has been knocking it out of the park more than once, leaving Mets fans in awe. The impact of Juan Soto on the team isn't just limited to his offense.
