Juan Soto Launches Moonshot Homer in Nationals Rout of Mets

Juan Soto may have just made the Mets want to opt out of the 2020 MLB season as a team.

Just hours after it was announced that Mets starter Marcus Stroman had opted out of the 2020 season for COVID-related reasons, the Mets took the field against the Nationals and promptly allowed a season-high 16 runs.

Two of those runs came off the bat of Nats phenom Juan Soto who was scratched from the lineup on Opening Day after testing postive for COVID-19.

Check out the moonshot that Soto launched off of Steven Matz:

Soto’s second homer of the season made the score 5-0 and was measured at 463 feet. It was only the beginning of what was a 16-run onslaught which included home runs from Asdrubal Cabrera and Trea Turner as well.

The Nationals need to get it going a little earlier than they did last season to make a push for the playoffs as they sit at only 5-7 through 12 games played while the Mets fell to 7-10.
