In a season of disappointments for the San Diego Padres, Juan Soto was one of the team’s few bright spots.
Soto started slow in 2023, but went on a tear for most of the final two months of the season, hitting 10 home runs in September and October alone.

Despite a pair of defenders breathing down his neck, Allen seemingly had no worries about possibly coughing up the football as he stared straight at Dean while crossing into the end zone.
