Juan Soto and the New York Yankees are one loss away from being swept by the Dodgers in the World Series, trailing in a 0-3 deficit from which no team has ever come back. However, he believes that his team’s strategy will be enough to secure a win.
According to Soto’s remarks just minutes before Game 4 at Yankee Stadium, he emphasized that the key to this game will be scoring early, setting an aggressive pace, and taking the lead to put themselves in a strong position for victory.
In addition to needing a quick start, Juan Soto knows the Yankees are facing a bullpen game against the Dodgers, which he acknowledged will be a challenge. He responded simply, saying they have to “see the ball and hit it.” Soto also pointed out that Dodgers pitchers will inevitably make mistakes.
“They’re gonna make mistakes, I know. It’s gonna be a lot of pitchers, a lot of changes, but we just have to wait for the mistake and not miss it. That’s the goal, that’s the mindset today. Wait for that mistake and break it, don’t miss it. There aren’t going to be many opportunities, so we have to capitalize when it matters.”
"We gotta attack early, and set the tone early in the game." @JuanSoto25_ joined Tom Verducci to talk about the @Yankees approach for the rest of the series as they face elimination
