Twice tonight, I've noticed Soto miming a checked swing when the pitcher has thrown over to first. It's like he takes advantage of the pickoff attempt to time the pitcher's motion.

Here is the win probability graph in that Diamondbacks/Braves game. https://metsrostercentral.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/screen-shot-2025-06-07-at-1.19.38-pm.png>
Yes, he is getting time because first Mark Vientos and then Francisco Lindor were hurt. I definitely do not have any desire to see Ronny Mauricio deployed at DH.
Mauricio, after not busting it out of the box on his drive to the wall, got caught watching the play and not covering second. But Baty and the gods are smiling.
