VIDEO: Juan Soto Drills 2-Run Shot Off Hyun-Jin Ryu to Give Nationals Early Lead Over Dodgers

Juan Soto, who was born four days after the Yankees won the 1998 World Series, is making a postseason statement as legendary as any 20-year-old in baseball history.

Life is over for that baseball, and that's completely acceptable.
First, Soto executed the bounce of the century to win the Wild Card Game, and now he's fueling a Nationals comeback against the top seed. Let's go.
