Juan Soto blasts a 426-foot homer in his initial spring training appearance with the New York Mets.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — In an exciting start to his tenure with the New York Mets, Juan Soto made an immediate impact by homering on his first at-bat during spring training. Soto launched a solo homer to left-center field in the opening inning against the Houston Astros on Saturday.

This offseason, Soto made headlines by signing a remarkable 15-year contract worth $765 million, marking a significant move from the Yankees to the Mets. Batting second in the lineup, nestled between notable teammates Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso, Soto connected for a powerful 426-foot home run on a 2-1 pitch thrown by left-handed pitcher Colton Gordon. He also contributed to the team’s offense shortly after by driving in an additional run with a groundball in the next inning.

Soto entered the matchup with a solid career batting average of .302 over his time in Major League Baseball, accompanied by 13 home runs across 86 spring training games, showcasing his consistent performance even in preseason play.
