Soto visits the Mets' bullpen before games, between pitching changes — really, anytime there's a break in the action that lets him pop in.

Juan Soto has a funny habit. It’s not new, but it’s definitely different. When Mets manager Carlos Mendoza emerges from the dugout in the middle of an inning, raises an arm to signal for a reliever and takes the ball from the guy on the mound — causing a pause in play that typically lasts a couple of minutes — Soto bails on post in rightfield and heads to the bullpen.
