told The Post before the game<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m still going up and down, but it\u2019s part of it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s still a process and you\u2019ve gotta keep coming through, but definitely I\u2019m feeling better the last couple of weeks.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Soto also had said before the game that he credits veteran teammates such as Starling Marte with helping him acclimate to his new Flushing surroundings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMarte is a veteran player, and a great teammate, a great dude,\u201d Soto said. \u201cHe\u2019s one of the guys I have talked to the most, probably the most. He\u2019s been teaching me the Mets way and how to settle in. And it has meant a lot to me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t tell you what he\u2019s been telling me, but he\u2019s definitely helped me a lot to settle in with the clubhouse and how everything works in here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Marte\u2019s playing time has been most affected by Soto\u2019s arrival, and he did not play Wednesday night. <\/p>\n
But he again was shown taking a photo with a smiling Soto in the dugout following the latter\u2019s two-run homer to right off Washington starter Jake Irvin in the third inning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The four-time All-Star added a single in the seventh for his fourth multihit game in his last five appearances.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo, who ripped two solo homers in the win, also said he spoke to Soto recently about expecting an offensive improvement once the weather begins to warm up in New York.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThings are heating up, and his numbers are all pointing to him being the Soto that we all know and love,\u201d Nimmo said of Soto. \u201cCiti Field, it\u2019s no joke. I tell you guys every single year, April and May here is no joke. There\u2019s a reason this ballpark ranks in the bottom of ballparks every single year, and it\u2019s not because of June, July and August.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we\u2019ve gotten into some hitter ballparks and got into some warmer weather. He\u2019s still walking, but now he\u2019s doing damage when they come into the zone. \u2026 He\u2019s stayed the course, and he is, I believe, by the end of the season \u2014 God willing, stay healthy \u2014 he\u2019ll be exactly where he needs to be and we\u2019ll be so glad that he\u2019s on our side.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Juan Soto\u2019s comfort level \u2014 and his offensive production \u2014 continue to rise in Queens.\u00a0 So, too, does…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":97517,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2396],"tags":[5,134,101,4,1690,61,2548,4203,1867,185],"class_list":{"0":"post-97516","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-mets","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-juan-soto","10":"tag-mets","11":"tag-mlb","12":"tag-new-york","13":"tag-new-york-mets","14":"tag-newyork","15":"tag-newyorkmets","16":"tag-ny-sports-minute","17":"tag-sports"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/114668572854910498","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97516","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=97516"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97516\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/97517"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97516"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=97516"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=97516"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
