MLB news: Juan Soto hits home run directly at heckler

Don't untook Juan Soto as he will make you look stupid.

Soto signed the wealthiest contract in North American sports history in December, when he agreed to a 15-year, $765 million deal with the New York Mets.

Early on, Soto seemed worth every penny, reaching around 0.400 in his first Mets spring training.

However, one fan in the stands was continually held back Soto by one fan opposed on Monday night and calling him “overpaying” and “overrated”, which was caught on camera.

Soto turned around to give the fans a good look. Perhaps it was a nuisance look, but perhaps Soto was warning fans of his impending revenge.

When Soto began his solo home run directly to Fan, Fan quickly tasted his medicine, but he had no ball.

Soto pointed at the fans after the ball cleaned up the fence and gave the Mets a 4-0 lead, ultimately beating the St. Louis Cardinals an 8-0 victory.
