As a two-strike fastball from Paul Skenes whizzed toward him, New York Yankees slugger Juan Soto read it as a ball and began backing off the plate. At a time when almost anything is debatable, there’s an overwhelming consensus that Soto has the best eye of any batter in baseball.

During his team’s first inning against the hosting New York Yankees, Skenes impressively struck out Juan Soto and Aaron Judge back-to-back to keep New York from getting on base with two of its best players.
