A big bullpen bust in L.A.? Is Soto unlucky? Are the O's cooked? An early verdict on 2025 disappointments
Briefly

As the MLB season progresses into June, the article analyzes the underwhelming performance of several MLB stars, focusing primarily on Juan Soto of the New York Mets. Despite a substantial financial investment, Soto's batting stats have been disappointing, with a .233 average and significant criticism from fans. However, metrics suggest he might be underperforming due to bad luck, as his expected hitting stats are much higher than his actual performance. The article emphasizes that there’s still time for improvement as the season unfolds.
"Juan Soto isn't the $765 million star the New York Mets had hoped he'd be. Though there’s still time to turn things around, the expectations are high."
"Soto's numbers are way below where they 'should' be... his expected average is .299, but his actual is .233, indicating he may be experiencing bad luck."
