Juan Soto flexed his power Monday, blasting a 463-foot home run to deep center against the New York Mets. The ball cleared the Big Apple in center-field, extending the Washington Nationals’ lead to 5-0.
Teammate Trea Turner had the best reaction, as cameras showed him apparently saying “That was a ____ bomb!”
The blast was Soto’s second of the season. Despite missing the first seven games of the season due to a positive test for COVID-19, Soto has shown no rust. He is hitting .375/.412/.875 with four RBIs in 17 plate appearances.
At 463 feet, Monday’s blast was Soto’s longest of his career which was worth the dugout dancing for the 21-year old phenom.
