Juan Soto wasted zero time justifying his record-shattering **$765 million contract** in his New York Mets debut, launching a **426-foot moonshot** in his very first Spring Training at-bat. The megastar, who turned down offers from the Yankees, Blue Jays, Red Sox, and Dodgers this offseason, electrified the crowd by demolishing a pitch from Astros’ Colton Gordon into left-center field, giving the Mets an early 1-0 lead.
After taking two balls and a swing-and-miss, Soto pounced on a fourth-pitch fastball, showcasing the elite power that made him baseball’s most sought-after free agent. Unlike Shohei Ohtani’s heavily deferred $700 million deal with the Dodgers, Soto’s Mets pact guarantees him colossal annual payouts, anchoring him in Queens for the long haul.
Soto, now on his fourth team at just 25 years old, is poised for at least two more at-bats in today’s game as fans eagerly await more fireworks. With one swing, he’s already proving why the Mets bet historic money on his generational bat. ⚾️
