The New York Mets starting lineup on May 12, 2026 has Juan Soto in left, A.J. Ewing in center, and Carson Benge in right. THIS is why the signing of Juan Soto during the 2024 off season made absolutely NO SENSE.
Benge has been here and after an initial stutter step, he is showing exactly what he is capable of doing. Benge hits left handed.
Ewing is the top position player prospect and has been tearing it up throughout the minors. Ewing hits left handed.
Soto we all know hits…left handed.
So it’s an all lefty hitting outfield? But wait…there’s more.
