Juan Soto is rewriting the record books — and he’s doing it with thunder in his bat.
During the Mets’ 7-3 victory over the Braves, Soto launched not one but two towering home runs. This wasn’t just another night at the ballpark. This was history in the making. With those two bombs, Soto recorded his 27th career multi-homer game — and in doing so, he passed none other than Jimmie Foxx, the Hall of Famer from the roaring 1920s and ’30s.
Soto now holds the record for the most multi-home run games before turning 27. And he still has four more months to add to it.
Juan Soto Dethrones a Legend
Jimmie Foxx had stood atop that particular mountain for nearly a century. His 26 multi-homer games before age 27 were once seen as untouchable — a relic of a golden era. But Soto, with his signature blend of power, patience, and precision, has toppled that mark in the modern game with faster pitching, more analytics, and far more scrutiny. And he’s not done. The calendar says June. The fireworks show might just be getting started.
The New Power King in Queens
This wasn’t just a milestone night — it was a statement night. Soto’s second blast of the game, a 396-foot missile in the seventh inning, put him ahead of Pete Alonso on the season’s home run chart. Let that sink in. Alonso, the guy who practically trademarked moonshots in Flushing, is now chasing Soto. With 19 home runs under his belt already and over half the season left, Soto’s pace could turn downright scary.
His first homer was a 413-foot no-doubter in the fourth. A classic Soto swing — that compact coil, that thunderous follow-through. Braves pitchers could only look skyward and shake their heads.
Still 26 — And Still Climbing
Soto doesn’t turn 27 until October 25, which means every multi-homer game between now and then adds to a record that may stand for generations. And here’s the thing, this isn’t some random hot streak. This is the product of years of discipline, talent, and a swing built for greatness. Whether he’s facing a flamethrower or a crafty veteran, Soto finds a way to rise.
The Mets are seeing the emergence of a leader; the league is witnessing the ascension of generational talent and baseball history. Well, it’s got a brand new chapter — and Juan Soto is writing it, one swing at a time.
