The Mets’ Juan Soto vision may be starting to finally come into view. 

As the Amazin’s led the Rockies 4-1 in the bottom of the fourth inning Saturday, Francisco Lindor singled on a ground ball to right field. 

On the third pitch of the frame, Brandon Nimmo hit a home run — his ninth of the season.

With the Citi Field crowd on a high, Soto added to that energy, blasting his first home run in 18 days off the next pitch — a 90.5 mph sinker from Colorado’s Antonio Senzatela.

The ball traveled 404 feet into center field, leaving Soto’s bat at 109.5 mph. 

As Soto rounded the bases, he pointed to the outfield in celebration. 

The home run Saturday marked Soto’s first since May 9 against the Cubs.

He did the same before entering the dugout, sending the fans into a frenzy for their $765 million man. 

And moments later, a “Juan Soto” chant took over as the crowd embraced the newly acquired Met, who has had a slow start to the season.

Prior to Friday night, the four-time All-Star was on a 0-for-17 skid.

He managed to snap out of the funk in the series opener against the Rockies, going 2-for-4 with an RBI double.
