Juan Soto is a Dominican professional baseball outfielder for the New York Mets, widely regarded as one of the greatest hitters of his generation. After signing with the Washington Nationals in 2015, he debuted in 2018 and quickly became a superstar, winning a World Series with the team in 2019 and the National League batting title in 2020. Following trades to the San Diego Padres and New York Yankees, Soto reached the 2024 World Series with the latter before becoming a free agent. In a historic move, he signed a 15-year, $765 million contract with the Mets—the largest deal in professional sports history. A five-time All-Star and six-time Silver Slugger, Soto is famous for his exceptional plate discipline and his unique, rhythmic "Soto Shuffle" in the batter's box.
