“Eh, he’s a little overrated. He’s okay,” he said.
Lee said he would rather seek out the Mariners star Cal Raleigh.
Both Raleigh and Soto are among the best players for their respective teams, and they faced the annual Little League Classic, which includes the Major League teams in Williamsport as the Little League World Series is played.
Mets won the game 7-3. Soto was 0-for-3 with two walks, while Raleigh was 2-for-5 with a home drive, two RBI and a scored race.
