Dominican baseball player Juan Soto has been a sensation in his first games with the New York Yankees , not only for what he is capable of doing on the field, but also for his charisma, which in a short time has managed to win the sympathy of the fans of the Bronx Bombers
And in the recent game in which the Yankees crushed the Miami Marlins 7-0 , in which Soto shined with his first home run at Yankee Stadium , his second of the season with which he drove in three runs, the Dominican also took time to indulge some fans.
And while Soto was walking through the right field meadow, a fan called him to ask for an autograph and the outfielder agreed, but not before turning to see if he would have time before his teammate Néstor Cortés Jr. threw the ball.

The video shared by the X Talkn’ Baseball account went viral on social media, because Soto signed the fan’s ball in the middle of an at-bat, and you can even see him trying to run to regain ground, but he realized that the ball was not going in his area.
“I looked at the clock, so I was hesitating because the game was supposed to start at 6:08. So I had two minutes and I turned around and Nestor was almost moving. I was like ‘Oh my God,'” said Juan Soto at the end of the game , about the scare he got for indulging the fans before the game started, and being surprised because pitcher Cortes rushed his first pitch to Luis Arraez.
Juan Soto has 46 at-bats in 12 regular season games with the Yankees , with two home runs, 16 hits, 11 RBIs, for a .348 percentage and this Wednesday will conclude the series against the Marlins .
