Juan Soto Moving To Left Field As Mets Reshape Outfield Alignment

Stearns said Soto will play left field for the Mets this season, a shift after he mostly manned right since 2021. Soto logged 150 starts in left in 2019 and 154 in 2023. He posted -12 Outs Above Average in right last year but had +5 OAA in left in 2019. Tyrone Taylor or prospect Carson Benge could cover right.
