New York Yankees superstar Juan Soto has brought fans to their feet all season long. Whether it’s his undeniable determination or the way he hits the ball, Soto’s exciting play has been one of the team’s highlights this year.
Soto added yet another highlight to the collection on Monday.
Soto absolutely smashed a home run that towered near the upper deck at Yankee Stadium! His impressive blast was also his 24th home run of the year

That’s a moonshot home run at Yankee Stadium. While the park has gotten”dinged up” for its short porch, rarely do you see home runs travel up to that distance. Only a handful of players have sent one out that far. Juan Soto is now among them, which likely works for a lot of Yankee fans.
While the Yankees have struggled recently, Monday was a bit different. Soto’s home run was just one part of the dominant showing the team’s had against AL East rival Tampa.
Yankees fans and baseball fans of all kinds reacted to the moonshot home run Soto blasted.

Having Juan Soto in the same lineup as Aaron Judge is magical to watch. The New York Yankees are hard to beat when they’re both on.
This one went to PLUTO for Soto.

Juan Soto is the only guy the Yankees have had in a long time who would troll the Rays back by slowly rounding the bases there lol what a beast
