Soto Slugs first HR for Mets in Win – March 29, 2025
Juan Soto (OF – Mets)
Soto hit his first house with the Mets Friday evening. There is not way more to be mentioned about top-of-the-line gamers in all of baseball. Soto has an opportunity for an enormous season driving in runs hitting behind Francisco Lindor and scoring runs by way of Pete Alonso’s bat. One enjoyable Juan Soto reality: 2019 was the final time Soto had extra strikeouts than walks and may simply get to his third 100 run and RBI season in a row. His numbers are fairly wonderful and it will likely be fascinating if he can put up an OPS over 1.000; he final did it within the shortened 2020 (1.185) and simply missed it in 2021 (.999).
Ryan Pepiot (SP – Rays)
Pepiot allowed 1 ER over 6 innings putting out 8 whereas strolling 1. It was a powerful begin for Pepiot who’s coming off of a powerful 2024 the place he delivered 3.60 ERA over 26 begins with a 9.8 Ok/9. 2024 noticed Pepiot characteristic a powerful 4 seamer that generated a 31% whiff charge and .181 batting common in opposition to. With the Rays enjoying their house video games within the hitter pleasant Yankees Minor league park this 12 months there shall be further scrutiny on Rays SP performances because the season goes on.
Hunter Goodman(OF/C – Rockies)
Goodman went 2-4 with a double Friday. He had an enormous spring and obtained the opening day nod at catcher over vet Jacob Stallings. Whereas they are going to more than likely cut up enjoying time early on Goodman extra fantasy upside for just a few causes. Goodman hit 30+ house runs within the minors in each 2022 and 2023 and whereas he smashed 13 longballs for the Rockies final 12 months, a 28% Ok charge leaves some to be desired. He did hit .444 with an excellent stroll to Ok ratio within the spring. What I like much more about Goodman is, relying in your league kind you could get some duel eligibility with him being each catcher and OF eligible. You may see me speak about “west coast twin place eligibility” rather a lot for fantasy functions for those who play in a league the place you set your lineups every day and Goodman is a good bench piece to plug-and-play since he’ll play nearly all of his video games with a later begin time. He’s one in all my prime bench provides and will pressure his approach into the High-10 catcher checklist by seasons finish.
Bret Baty (2B/3B – Mets)
Baty went 0-2 and was lifted for PH Luisangel Acuna late in Fridays sport. Baty sat in opposition to the lefty yesterday so this was his first begin at 2B. A Jeff Mcneil harm opened the door and Baty responded with a monster spring that noticed him slash .353/.441/.745 with 11 further base hits permitting him to choose up reps at 2B. His observe file over components of the previous 3 seasons is not stellar as he owns a .215/.282/.325 line over 169 video games. When Jeff Mcneil returns it should more than likely come all the way down to who’s enjoying higher between Baty and Acuna that will get the spot. As evidenced by at the moment’s sport the Mets appear content material to play the matchups with their second base setup early on which is able to eat into the at bats of each gamers.
Kameron Misner (OF – Rays)
Misner launched a walk-off house run to offer the Rays the win at their new discipline Friday. What a day for Misner who went 1-15 with 10 strikeouts final season in his main league debut. His first profession house run could not have come at a greater time as he entered the sport for an injured Josh Lowe. Misner raked throughout spring coaching to earn a reserve OF spot posting a 1.140 OPS. At 27 years previous he’s’t exhibiting up on any prospect lists however the outfielder truly could have an analogous ability set to the aforementioned Lowe. Comparable in dimension to Lowe, Misner spent nearly the whole lot of 2023 and 2024 at AAA the place he hit 38 house runs and stole 51 bases throughout 243 video games. Strikeouts have been a difficulty resulting in decrease batting averages however relying on the severity of the Lowe harm he’s definitely a reputation to observe.
