Watch: Yankees' Juan Soto celebrates World Series HR with incredible bat flip

By Adam Gretz | Last updated Oct 26, 2024 9:14 PM ET

New York Yankees superstar right fielder Juan Soto just seems built for the biggest moments and keeps delivering big hits.

He added another one to his resume in Game 2 of the World Series on Saturday night when he clubbed his fourth home run of the postseason, sending a Yoshinobu Yamamoto fastball deep into the right field stands.

He also celebrated it by slowly walking down the right field line, giving Yamamoto a quick stare-down, and then flipping his bat about 30 feet toward the dugout.

First, the home run.

JUAN SOTO TIES IT!

Soto is not just one of the best hitters in baseball, he might also be the most confident hitter in baseball as nothing seems to phase him. Not the situation. Not the big game stage. Not one of the best pitchers in the world. He showed all of that here.
