Juan Soto's stats are getting ugly and today is another four dozen without hits

New York Mets right fielder Juan Soto had another no-hitter day today, failing to get the ball out of the infield in a 4-9 loss to the Chicago White Sox.

Juan Soto signed a record $765 million contract as a free agent last December, but in his first season with the Mets, he played in 55 games with a 2-for-24 batting average, eight home runs and 25 RBIs.

The four-time All-Star, five-time Silver Baseball Award winner, who hit four hits, hit 0 hits, one catch, and had one strikeout on Wednesday, a dismal performance that matched the terrible weather conditions, and the few spectators on Citi Stadium booed him in a hastily rescheduled game with only a few thousand fans in attendance.

Due to weather forecasts for rain Wednesday night, the start time for Game 1 was moved forward by six hours to 1:10 p.m. Tuesday.

Juan Soto has not been in great form since hitting a two-point two-run hit in the right midfield and two bases in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers, losing one in a chaotic game on Tuesday night after teammate Brandon Nimmo was ruled out between bases.

Mets head coach Carlos Mendoza expressed confidence in Juan Soto before and after Wednesday's loss, saying that he passed the "eyesight test" regardless of what the stats say about Juan Soto's performance.

"Today he didn't play the ball hard, but I think his foundation, his lower body is in a better position." , said Carlos Mendoza.
