After a decent free agency this season, the San Diego Padres are looking confident for the upcoming regular season. They have one of the best rosters in baseball with multiple superstar-level players. Juan Soto is one of those players for the Padres, providing them with great ability in the right field. Furthermore, he is a huge bright spot in the team’s future as well, being only 24 years old right now.

Soto has been enjoying the off-season while preparing for the upcoming MLB season. Most recently, he was seen enjoying college baseball at the MLB Desert Invitational. He ended up providing one team with some good luck.
