DENVER -- Juan Soto moved up another spot in the record books as he nears the end of one of the best seasons ever by a teenager. Soto launched a solo home run in the fifth inning on Saturday night at Coors Field, his 22nd home run of the season, matching Bryce Harper for the second-most homers by a teenager in MLB history.
Soto's latest homer was a moonshot, as he took a 2-2 pitch from Chad Bettis and deposited it into the second deck in right field. It was measured at 440 feet, according to Statcast™, making it the longest home run of Soto's career.
