Juan Soto, one of the most prolific left-handed hitters in baseball, has officially joined the New York Yankees after being traded from the San Diego Padres.
Soto's approach at the plate, which has generated a phenomenal 157 OPS+ through six seasons, is not expected to change despite the short porch in right field at Yankee Stadium.
Despite his impressive record, Soto's swing isn't tailored for Yankee Stadium as he doesn't typically pull the ball at an above-average rate.
Soto has expressed excitement about joining the Yankees and playing in front of a large Dominican fan base in New York.
