VIDEO: Juan Soto Has All-Time Response After Mimicking Alex Bregman on Home Run Trot
By Jerry Trotta
Juan Soto delivered a troll job for the ages during Game 6 of the World Series on Tuesday night when he brilliantly mimicked Alex Bregman's extended "bat flip" upon demolishing a home run off the scoreboard in right. This blast gave the Nationals a 3-2 lead in the top of the fifth inning, and it was a lead that Washington wouldn't look back, from as they went on to force Game 7 with a 7-2 dub. After the game, MLB Network asked Soto why he decided to carry his bat to first base, and the 21-year-old budding superstar delivered a perfect response.

Soto certainly has an arrogant side -- look no further than the manner in which he stares down a pitcher and occasionally grabs his crotch upon taking a pitch -- but this clip right here outlines the sheer amount of fun he has playing the game. He liked what he saw. He wanted to do it, too. No harm, no foul.
This dude @ABREG_1 really carried the bat to 1st base.

What more could the Nationals want from the future (and possibly current) face of their franchise?
