On Saturday, right fielder Juan Soto hit one of the most perfect home runs in the storied history of the New York Yankees: a two-out, two-strike, three-run shot to deep center field off Cleveland Guardians pitcher Hunter Gaddis that staked the Yankees to a 5–2 lead in the 10th inning of Game 5 of the ALCS.
The home run moved New York within three outs of the World Series, and when pitcher Luke Weaver shut down the Guardians in the bottom of the 10th, the Yankees could reflect on their accomplishment. In a video posted to various social channels Friday, Soto broke down his big hit.
