Juan Soto Shines in Mets Spring Training Debut

Juan Soto made an impressive debut with the New York Mets during their spring training opener against the Houston Astros by hitting a 426-foot home run in his first at-bat. Soto's home run, which came off a 2-1 pitch from Colton Gordon, showcased why the Mets signed him to a record 15-year, $765 million contract. Soto, who previously played for the Yankees, continued his powerful hitting form from last season, where he achieved a career-high of 41 home runs. In addition to his home run, Soto contributed to the team's 3-0 lead with a run-scoring fielder's choice in his second at-bat. With a career .302 batting average in spring training, Soto's performance has already excited Mets fans and justified the team's significant investment.
