Juan Soto striving to "come back stronger" after 2025 All-Star snub

Despite being arguably the hottest hitter in all of the major leagues in June, Juan Soto was snubbed from the 2025 All-Star game, to the shock of many experts and fans alike. Having earned All-Star honors every season since 2021, this year's surprising snub breaks his streak of consecutive selections.

Speaking to the press earlier this month, Soto addressed the disappointment of missing out, before adding that he would "come back stronger" next season.

“Sometimes you’re gonna make it and sometimes you don’t. It's just a part of baseball ... For me, I try to play as hard as I can and help the team and enjoy the moment. Everyone wants to be an All-Star and live the experience of being there, but this year it didn’t happen. I was glad I was able to be there four years in a row. If I didn’t make it this year, it’s no big deal. I’ll come back stronger next year.”

Despite missing out on a big individual accolade, there is still plenty to fight for this season. With the Mets looking to win the NL East and challenge for the World Series in October, fans will be hoping Soto can continue performing the way he has lately and play a key role.
