Juan Soto, the New York Yankees’ superstar outfielder, isn’t just hitting home runs this Spring Training – he’s launching absolute missiles.
During a recent game at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Soto sent a ball rocketing towards Dale Mabry Highway, leaving players, fans, and even highway traffic in awe. The ensuing scene was pure pandemonium as a biker became an unlikely hero in retrieving the errant baseball.
Tony Spasiano, an usher at Steinbrenner Field, described the scene as “pandemonium” when Soto’s 112.2-mph blast cleared the stadium walls and bounced onto the busy highway. Matt Gamble, an Atlanta Braves fan in attendance, captured the chaotic moment on his phone.

“Multiple cars ran over it,” he reported in an interview about the aftermath of Juan Soto’s Spring Training hit, “eventually shooting the ball back toward the ballpark.” Evidently, we have a biker to thank for that.
Just when hope of recovering the ball seemed lost, a cyclist swooped in. In the moment beautifully captured in a video shared by Twitter user WuYorkYankees, the kind stranger was seen spotting the coveted souvenir, braving the traffic, and retrieving the ball.
Amidst the hullabaloo of the massive repercussions of the hit, Soto’s teammates have been buzzing about the sheer power of the home run that sent the ball far, far away from its home.
The Juan Soto phenomenon
“That was probably one of the farthest ones I’ve seen hit here in spring training,” said captain Aaron Judge to NJ.com. Skipper Aaron Boone jokingly added, “That’s how I used to not hit ’em….it’s a really special swing.” The respect for Soto’s skills is clearer than a crystal.
Clarke Schmidt called him “probably the most advanced hitter in the game.” Team veteran Giancarlo Stanton echoed those sentiments: “Pitchers seem to have nothing for him. They throw everything, the kitchen sink. He just stares at you, holds it, and hits a line-drive homer somewhere.” Beyond his monstrous power, Juan Soto’s impact on the Yankees is undeniable.
He’s currently batting .500 (9-for-18) this Spring Training, with four home runs, 10 RBIs, and a staggering 1.828 OPS already in his bag. Soto’s relentless plate discipline is a nightmare for opposing pitchers, forcing them to work deep into counts. This creates a ripple effect that benefits the rest of the Yankees’ star-studded lineup.
The home run that landed on the highway was more than just a thrilling moment; it was pure, unfiltered baseball chaos. From the stunned fans to the heroic biker, this hit has etched itself into Spring Training lore. While Juan Soto’s Spring Training stats will reset shortly, the excitement and buzz he’s generating won’t be forgotten any time soon!
