Juan Soto, when asked what his peak is, said: "I can't even imagine. I'm going to try to be the best the next couple of years before I start aging."

The on-field Juan Soto, who is ultra-competitive and will do what he needs to do to get the adrenaline going. Off the field, Soto is somewhat shy.

With a matter-of-fact tone, Juan Soto sounded confident. In his decision to pick the New York Mets. In his ability to perform at an elite level, starting with Thursday’s season opener. In anything, really.
