In yet another email I received from Puma yesterday, he took the time to break down Soto's splits at the plate. Here's what he came up with:
Soto with Nobody On Base: .280/.398/.549 in 100 Plate Appearances = Good
Soto with Runners On: .246/.419/.316 in 75 Plate Appearances = Jason Kendall
Soto with RISP: .133/.381/.133 in 42 Plate Appearances = Atrocious
Here to comment on Soto's inability to hit with RISP is our very own Puma...
"Wow, he has exactly the same # of extra-base hits with runners in scoring position as my DEAD GRANDMOTHER! That’s 4 singles, 4 singles, in 42 RBI opportunities. Zero doubles, zero triples, zero HRs. Also, 12 BBs & 10 Ks so over 50% of his chances end without him putting the ball in play.
If those numbers don’t tell the story of a guy choking under pressure then I don’t know what does. He’s like an overmatched Little Leaguer PRAYING that they walk him."
