Juan Soto

“I don't want to keep losing.”

“We're all humans, and we all make errors. So, we're not perfect.”

“When they compared me with a legend like that, like Ted Williams, that's when I opened my eyes and I was like, 'Wow, that was a really good one.' That was the one who was opening my eyes... When I started looking at his numbers and everything and you see what he got done, it's just amazing.”

“I used to throw the ball in the air and just hammer it up the middle and run around the bases, back and forth in the hallway. And I remember thinking that was everything.”

“For me, it's just a blessing. It just comes to me. I never tried to hit a homer, or anything like that.”

“If you want to be the champion, you've got to beat everybody.”

“Sometimes you see a little kid and how their faces get so excited when you give them something.”

“I'm one of the guys who just tries to hit singles every day.”

“I threw one of my bats away and I gave it to a little kid. He just wanted to say hi to me, and I said, 'Grab this,' and he was so excited, he was just jumping around. That just made me feel better.”

“You love to see your own crowd going wild.”

“That's what I'm trying to be - a player for everybody.”

“I've always been loyal to the Nationals, I've always been there for them.”

“When you know you have a good lineup, you don't worry about hitting the winning homer.”

“Sometimes I like my whole name, Juan Jose Soto Pacheco. Soto Pacheco is for my family. It's really nice. I play for them, and I love to see them happy.”

“Atlanta is one of the teams, they always attack me. They always try to get me out. It doesn't matter how.”

“I'm a winning player and I will do anything to win.”

“I'm going to fight for my place.”

“I just take one at-bat at a time.”

“I believe in God and he's always talking about give love to the people that you love and help the people, help the world, whatever you can. And that's how my mom and my dad helped me out with it, just trying to help people. For me, that's the only thing that gets to my mind when I hear about all the money.”

“All of the players want to be known for something. The first dream is to get to the big leagues. The second is to stay in the big leagues. The third is to be a Hall of Famer. That's what I want.”
