Juan Soto Shows off Unexpected Pool Table Skills, as Expectations Build for His Debut Yankees Season

One of the most interesting things about off-season is watching how players spend quality time outside of the diamond. Some prefer attending sporting events, some train their children, and few travel around the world. The New York Yankees’ superstar Juan Soto too recently gave a glimpse of his offseason “Break”.

The superstar once again showed his trademark big personality in a recent Instagram story. While the fans are wondering how good his hitting will be in the Pinstripes, Soto showed his hitting skills in another sport.

Juan Soto shows off his skills in an Instagram story

Finally back on the East Coast with his family, Soto’s happiness has been visible for quite some time now. His latest Instagram story exemplifies that feeling. He shared a video of him playing pool and successfully pocketing a ball. After making that shot Soto was seen celebrating and playfully taunting his friend.

Captioned “tiro una pata ahi” the story was originally posted by Soto’s friend. With the slugger wanting to include his fans in the fun, Soto reshared it on his Instagram account. It can be clearly seen how happy Soto is, so the question arises – is it because of his entry in the Yankees, or is it because after spending two years on the West Coast, Soto is back home?

Soto’s stay in San Diego marked his first long-term departure from his loved ones and Soto always missed them. So now that Soto is back home, it looks like he’s finally getting his fill of his mother’s pastelon de platano maduro – the dish that helped Soto win the World Series!  The Yankees faithful would certainly hope that his mother’s cooking again shows its magic in 2024 and breaks the trophy drought of the Pinstripes. But Soto’s Instagram story has raised a curious question – what other talents is he hiding?

The Slugger’s love for games

Apart from baseball and pool, Soto once revealed to the Washington Post that he also is a massive fan of Dominoes. The board game is one of the favorite pastimes of Dominicans. Soto too never misses a chance to play this game with his family and friends. Apart from this, his love for video games is second to none, notably, Soot was playing on Nintendo during his trade deal with the Yankees.

The Dominican is also an avid fan of the NBA. Owning jerseys of players like Jayson Tatum, his admiration for basketball is perhaps only eclipsed by his love for baseball. With so many activities to do, at least the offseason of Soto looks well set. With spring training still a month away, looks like more such videos might come out for the fans to see.
