Juan Soto is on the home run ledger this season.
The $765 million Mets man crushed his first homer with the Amazin’s on Friday night, smacking a solo homer off the facing of the second deck in the third inning at Houston’s Daikin Park.
On a 1-2 up-and-in cutter from starter Hunter Brown, Soto turned on the pitch and sent it 390 feet to right field, hitting the front of the second level before it careened back toward the playing field.
It traveled off the bat at 107.3 mph.
