The first Juan Soto in New York Mits gave some indicators about why they signed one of the largest contract in the history of American sport.
The 26-year-old ascended to the plate on Saturday, and the 426-foot Homer was fired at the left field fence during the Mets 6-2 victory over Houston Astros in the spring training game.
Although it was just part of the spring practice, the crowd went to the wilderness, where it stands to pity their new star.
Soto told reporters after that. “But they have to see him with their own eyes.
“If I look at my numbers, I always start a decrease in the past two years that I have been trying to go early and to be ready in the spring training immediately.”
Soto signed for the Mets team in December a historic deal of 15 years and $ 765 million, according to multiple reports. Last season, he had one of the best campaigns in his seven -year career, as he finished 41 runs for the house, and 109 running on average.
Homer was placed at the bottom of the first half on Saturday Mets forward, and led the entire match. Soto led in another round in the second that extended Mets to 3-0.
Although ASTROS got themselves on the results board at the top of the fourth half, they have never been able to challenge Mets, partly due to the start of the Clay Holmes jug, which cast three ideal roles on his first time in the privilege.
This excitement was about the Soto that appeared in favor of the Mets team that there was 7394 spectators in the Cloover Park in Port Saint Lucy, Florida, the second largest crowd on the stadium for the spring match, according to MLB.
