We may not have baseball for quite a while, but that doesn’t mean we have to miss out on the sights and sounds of spring training.
Washington Nationals slugger Juan Soto made sure of that.
The 23-year-old star posted a video on his Instagram page Wednesday playing in a game somewhere surrounded by palm trees while he smashed a moonshot deep into right field.
The video ended before we see where the ball landed, but based on the sound of the bat we feel pretty confident it cleared the fence.
Soto captioned the video, “WE PLAY LOUD, deadline is over spring training just started.”
You are going to want to put your sound on for this:
The Instagram post reminded us all just how fun it is to watch Soto play, but also served as a reminder of what fans are missing as the players and owners continue to be at odds regarding a new collective bargaining agreement.
While the first two series of the season have been canceled, it could be more if the two sides do not reach an agreement soon.
For now, it’s videos like the one Soto posted that will need to keep baseball fans entertained until a deal is worked out.
