Juan Soto Embraces His Yankees Role, Credits Teamwork For Bombers’ Hot Start

The Childish Bambino’s maturity is on display in the New York Yankees. It has been only a few days but Juan Soto has become a natural fit in the Bronx clubhouse. Game after game the superstar’s winning ways have mesmerized the Yankees Faithful. However, for Soto, his great performances aren’t just a personal win. The Yankees’ Dominican face has credited the entire team for this quick success.

The Bronx Bombers currently stand at 12-3 after successfully sweeping the Cleveland Guardians in Saturday’s doubleheader. This has led to the team tying its all-time best start. Though the Yankees have done this six times, the most recent occurrence was way back in 2003. Juan Soto’s contribution to this has been nothing short of extraordinary.

The slugger showed a glimpse of it again during the nightcap where he hit a massive 3-run 408 feet home run. That not only increased the Yankees’ lead but sealed the win for the Pinstripes. However, when asked about his influence in the hitting staff by YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits, Soto shared that he’s doing exactly what the team wants him to do. 

“I don’t know. I just try to do my job. Literally, I’m here just to get on and let Judge do his thing. Whenever I can do damage I try to do it but it’s a whole team work. We gotta do it little by little, we gotta do it as a team,” Soto said. The superstar’s humility was on full display as he continuously gave credit to the squad.

However, while these games did extend the New York Yankees’ winning ways, they held some individual importance for Soto too. The superstar crossed a ridiculous milestone during these two games.

Juan Soto crosses another milestone as the Yankees’ stay continues to be historic

MLB.com reports that with his appearance at the Guardians’ Progressive Field Soto has now played in all 30 active MLB stadiums. What’s even more interesting is that Juan Soto has homered in 26 of them. The superstar has also homered in Mexico City in 2023 as part of the San Diego Padres squad. 

This shows the wild consistency that Soto enjoys at the young age of just 25. “He’s a great, great player. So any time you throw things like that out there at a very young age it’s not surprising. I’m sure it won’t be long until it’s 30 out of 30,” Aaron Boone said about Soto’s record. The fact that he’s done it all at 25 is just a mind-boggling fact. However, one wouldn’t guess it while looking at Soto, whose humility has always made him a fan favorite. 

So now that the Yankees are looking like a dynasty again, one wonders just how high this peak will go. Is the World Series on for the Bronx Bombers? They certainly look like contenders for sure.
