Davey Martinez talked before the doubleheader with the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday about the fact that Juan Soto hadn’t hit a home run in September to that point.
Soto was having a solid month (.306/.521/.429, six doubles, 22 walks, 11 intentional), but had not hit anything over the fence since August 31st, when he’d connected for his 10th and 11th home runs in a total of 104 plate appearances to that point.
“I always talk about when things are not going well for him, he pulls of the ball, and he’s trying too hard,” Martinez told reporters.
