Rewatch the three-minute magic show and remind yourself why Juan Soto is about to shatter the record for the largest free-agent contract in MLB history.
It was Oct. 19: Game 5 of the American League Championship Series. Soto’s then-employer, the New York Yankees, needed one win to reach the franchise’s first World Series in 15 years. With the Yankees and Cleveland Guardians tied in the top of the 10th inning, Soto came to the dish with two outs and two on. What transpired was one of the most sensational at-bats in recent memory.
The first six pitches were off-speed.
