Juan Soto electrified an already rambunctious Yankee Stadium crowd on Monday night when he launched his first home run in the Bronx.
Facing Miami Marlins lefty Jesus Luzardo, Soto’s three-run homer was a moonshot down the right field line. It was his second home run of the season. Statcast measured it at 384 feet with a modest exit velocity, just 87.4 mph.

IT'S BEEN WAITING FOR YOU
