JUAN SOTO HITS ONE A MILE! 😳 Juan Soto’s 10th HR was UTTERLY CRUSHED (449-FT!) | MLB Highlights

Here's Juan Soto who has more hits against the Marlins than he does against any other team. 105 of them in his career. He had three home runs in the series in Washington. And he has a home run on his ledger against Ahiri Perez. He had four career at-bats. Perez in three career starts against the Mets as an ERA of 10. And Soto fouls off the fastball one and one. Perez came up when he was just 20 years old. And he had Tommy John surgery in April of 24. He didn't get back until June of last year. He made 20 starts last season. Pitched pretty well. But he's gotten off to a rough beginning this year. Perez in his starts against the Mets. Nine innings. Ten runs like Gary just mentioned. But also eight walks in those innings. He's issued the second most walks of any pitcher in the National League this year. And he will mow people down for a few innings. And then all of a sudden he'll lose command of the strike zone. And it's not all that shocking for a 23-year-old pitcher who's 6'8". And 6'8", he also has lost a couple years to development. Or a year plus because of that Tommy John surgery. They're waiting for the maturity to kick in. 2-2 to Soto. Vientos would be next. And it's up high at 3-2. Here's my favorite of Uri Perez facts. His dad is 5'3". His mom is 5'2". Oh, you always got a chance. You always have a chance. 6'8". Who knew? 3-2 coming to Soto. And he fouls back that fastball on his hands at 100 miles an hour. Good catch by Joe Mack, the catcher. The carom off the net. So he didn't catch the ball fouled off by Soto but caught it off the net. Mack's only been in the big leagues for two and a half weeks. He needed to upgrade their defensive catching. Agustin Ramirez had struggled so mightily they sent him down. That could hit but was struggling behind the plate. Mack has shored up their defense there. And Soto cracks one to deep right field. Forget that. That is way out of here. Way up in the second deck. Soto hits a bomb. His tenth of the season. His fourth on this road trip. And the Mets jump out to a 1-0 lead. A prodigious blast for Senor Soto. It just felt like Perez just wanted to play country hardball with Soto and just keep throwing the same pitch over and over again. Fastballs right down the middle. And at some point, Soto's not going to miss. And that's where the longest he's ever hit. I mean, watch where this pitch is. There were a half dozen of these pitches in that at-bat. And he finally centers one. Four hundred and forty-nine feet on the home run from Soto. That almost hit off that huge column. Yep. Almost got to the column. Ten rows up in the stands in the second deck. Fientos laid on that high fastball. It's 0-2. The crack and sound it made up here in the booth was a no-doubter for us as soon as it left the bat. I mean, you can't throw a ball more center than that.
