Pete Alonso Speaks Out: ‘Nobody Can Put Themselves in Juan Soto’s Shoes’
🎙️ Voice is AI-generated. Inconsistencies may occur.
Juan Soto’s struggles are continuing for the New York Mets. He’s reaching levels that are unheard of for him or any player of his talent.
Entering Saturday, Soto’s slash line was .229/.355/.400, which is exemplified by just four hits in his last 31 at-bats. It becomes more evident each day that Soto’s struggles are due to the pressure building up.

The Mets know they’re going to need Soto when the games matter the most, and slugger Pete Alonso was quick to come to the $765 million superstar’s defense on “Foul Territory.”
“I don’t think anyone could ever put themselves in his shoes.”

“I don’t think anyone could ever put themselves in his shoes because he’s got the largest contract in all of sports,” said Alonso. “He’s kind of like on an island in that aspect, but for him, he’s all about winning. And that’s the most important thing.”
The Mets were 6-4 in their last 10 games entering Saturday, so the team has been finding ways to win more often than not even with Soto’s lack of success.
Soto’s pressure would only be worse if the Mets were falling apart the way the Orioles have this season. Alonso recognizes the work Soto is putting in to turn things around.
“Even though he’s not necessarily having the type of season he wants to have and he knows he’s capable of, he’s been very present,” Alonso told “Foul Territory.” “You see it every single day. He’s so consistent, so level-headed. That’s what you want out of a superstar like that. He’s the same whether he has a good day or a bad day.”
With the calendar flipping over very soon, Soto is hoping it’s a month to forget and get back to the way he was hitting at the beginning of the season.
