Watch: Juan Soto clobbers first home run with Mets


Juan Soto’s first game with the New York Mets ended in anti-climactic fashion, as he struck out with runners on the corners against Houston Astros closer Josh Hader in a hugely consequential ninth inning at-bat.

That dampened an otherwise solid debut game from the $765 million outfielder, who walked twice and notched his first base hit in his first five plate appearances as a Met.

But you can only keep a superstar down for so long. 

That’s what transpired on Friday, as the 26-year-old Soto destroyed a home run to right field off Astros right-hander Hunter Brown at Daikin Park. The 390-foot-long ball left the bat at 107.3 mph, in what could be categorized as a true missile.
