Yankees fans are all-in on Juan Soto after his game-saving throw in New York debut
It did not take Juan Soto long at all to get into the good graces of New York Yankees fans.
The latest superstar to wear the pinstripes got to play hero on Opening Day, helping the Yankees come back from a 4-0 deficit after the second inning by going 1-for-3 at the plate with two walks and an RBI. But it was what he did at the end of the game that made his debut really stand out.
As the Yankees clung to a 5-4 lead with runners on first and second in the bottom of the ninth inning, Soto gathered a Kyle Tucker hopper to right field and fired a dart back to home to nail Maurico Dubón before he could score the tying run.
If this is a preview of the Juan Soto Experience in 2024, Yankees fans are in for an incredible ride after a season-opening win in Houston.
