The Mets slugger locks in with his Dominican roots, playing dominoes and breaking down his rise to his historic contract, his experience as an Under Armour athlete, and more.
Juan Soto has it — the swagger, the skill, and the staying power.
Fresh off a dominant 7-1 win over his former team, the New York Mets slugger walked into Nighthawk Brewery and Pizza, just miles from where he clinched a World Series title in 2019, in high spirits and a fresh fit. Soto had another huge night at the plate, but for the Under Armour athlete, it was business as usual.
At only 26 years old, Soto’s resume is staggering: batting champion, four-time MLB All-Star, five-time Silver Slugger, World Series champion, and now the owner of the largest contract in Major League Baseball history. Few players in the game today combine power, patience, and personality the way Soto does — and in King of Diamonds, fans get a rare, unfiltered look at the man behind the legend.
In Episode 3 of the original series, Soto sits down with Jose Mena to reflect on his meteoric rise and what’s next. The conversation dives deep into his signature approach at the plate, the electric energy of playing baseball in New York City, and the pride of representing his Dominican heritage on the world stage. Soto also looks ahead to the World Baseball Classic and shares what it means to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with some of the biggest names in sports as part of Under Armour’s elite athlete roster.
From his roots in the Dominican Republic to his future as one of baseball’s defining stars, this is Juan Soto as you’ve never seen him before.
