MINNEAPOLIS — Juan Soto is still waiting for pitchers to attack him.
With roughly 10 percent of the season complete, the All-Star outfielder had these numbers on his Mets stat line as play began Monday at Target Field: a .409 on-base percentage (well within his normal range) with one homer and four RBIs (numbers that fall into the ‘What’s up with that?’ category).
One thing is certain to Soto: He’s not getting pitched the same as last season, when he had Aaron Judge hitting behind him in the Yankees lineup.
“It’s definitely different,” Soto told The Post before the Mets faced the Twins. “I had the best hitter in baseball hitting behind me. I was getting more attacked and more pitches in the strike zone, less intentional walks and things like that. I was pitched differently last year.”
