New York Yankees star outfielder Juan Soto certainly has a flair for the dramatic.
In his return to San Diego playing against the Padres for the first time since being traded to the Yankees this offseason, Soto launched a two-run home run to right field.
After coming to the plate in the first inning to a mix of cheers and boos from the home crowd, Soto struck out looking in his first at-bat.
He made sure to rectify that in the third inning, launching a massive home run to right field traveling 423 feet and with an exit velocity of 107.9 miles per hour.

Just another reason the Yankees need to lock this man up for the rest of his career.
