The New York Yankees traded for Juan Soto during the offseason, and the slugging outfielder is already showing why.
During a spring training matchup against the Atlanta Braves on Sunday, Soto blasted a 447-foot home run in the bottom of the fourth inning to give New York fans a glimpse of what’s to come this season, and manager Aaron Boone had the perfect one-liner when talking about the moonshot.
“That’s how I used to not hit them,” Boone said after the Yankees’ 9–8 victory. “It’s amazing how much space he creates for himself. It’s just a really special swing. It’s a battle every time. It’s fun to watch him take an at-bat.”
