Juan Soto on Wednesday night made New York Yankees fans hold their breath before he took their breath away.
Soto belted a two-run, go-ahead home run in the bottom of the sixth inning to help power the New York Yankees to a 4-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday. That blew Yankees fans away.
But the Yankees slugger dug back into the batter’s box moments later and drilled a 79-MPH knucklecurve into the right-field seats, hopping on one foot as he watched it fly before jogging around the bases.
After the game, Soto admitted he was in a lot of pain before slugging the long ball.
“It was a lot of pain,” Soto said. “At the end of the day, I tried to focus on the at-bat. Sometimes when you hit yourself like that, you kind of go away a little bit from the at-bat. So I tried to just focus, take my time, go in there and make good contact.”
How long did it take Soto to realize he was fine and could continue the at-bat?
“A couple minutes,” Soto said. “When I hit it, I knew there wasn’t anything broke right when I hit it, but it was really painful and I tired to put weight on my foot but i just fell down.”
Soto’s teammate Jazz Chisholm Jr., who delivered a walk-off hit in the 11th inning, told reporters that he and his teammates could tell that the slugger was about to “do something special” right before his sixht-inning homer.
“The way he was looking around, you could see in his eyes, he was about to do something special,” Chisholm said.
