The months-long wait to see Juan Soto in a full Mets uniform at Citi Field is finally over.
During lineup introductions before the Mets’ home opener against the Blue Jays on Friday afternoon, Soto received a rousing ovation from fans in attendance. The superstar slugger’s moment was only made sweeter with longtime Mets voice Howie Rose behind the microphone for the announcement.
Soto signed a record-breaking 15-year, $765 million contract with the Mets in early December. The 26-year-old slugger has arrived home slashing .238/.407/.429 with one home run and double apiece through six road games this season.
His thrilling introduction to the Mets’ lineup can be seen below.
