The ball left the bat at more than <strong>109 miles per hour<\/strong> and traveled <strong>428 feet<\/strong>, lifting the fans from their seats. It was a key hit that gave his team the lead in a game that was ultimately decided in their favor with a score of <strong>6-4<\/strong>.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Juan Soto&#39;s 31st stolen base of the year! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XDbUuyEW3g\">pic.twitter.com\/XDbUuyEW3g<\/a><\/p>&mdash; SNY (@SNYtv) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SNYtv\/status\/1965911324812042290?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 10, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\nWith this performance, Soto went 2-for-4 with two RBIs and one run scored, confirming his great offensive moment in the final stretch of the season.\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Heading to 40-40<\/h4>\n\n\nIn addition to being one home run away from the <strong>40 home run<\/strong> barrier, Soto has accumulated <strong>31 stolen bases<\/strong>, leaving him only nine away from becoming only the second Dominican in history to reach the legendary <strong>40-40<\/strong> club (40 HR and 40 steals in the same season).
