Los Angeles, CA. – Juan Soto, Dominican outfielder for the New York Mets, shows clear signs of recovery in his offensive performance. This Tuesday, he hit an impressive home run against the experienced pitcher Clayton Kershaw, in the second game of the series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. In a high-caliber duel between two prominent figures in Major League Baseball, Soto demonstrated his power by hitting a 91-mile-per-hour fastball thrown by Kershaw.
The hit, which came off the bat at 102 mph, traveled 397 feet and landed in center field at Dodgers Stadium. This home run brought the Mets closer on the scoreboard, reducing the home team’s lead.
This home run represents Soto’s third homer in his last seven games, a positive sign for the Queens team and its fans. Despite a season start with ups and downs, the Dominican’s power remains intact, and the adjustments at the plate are beginning to pay off.
The fact that this hit occurred against Kershaw, one of the most respected pitchers of his time, adds relevance to the achievement. Before this game, Soto had only connected one hit in ten at-bats against Kershaw in the regular season. This achievement could be a turning point for the outfielder, boosting his confidence for the rest of the season.
