While Juan Soto and Team Dominican Republic know the challenge Paul Skenes and Team USA bring, they aren't backing down.

Juan Soto and the Dominican Republic delivered a dominant performance against South Korea in the World Baseball Classic quarterfinals on Friday, powering a 10-0 mercy-rule shutout capped by an Austin Wells three-run home run.

The two-run blast to right field by the Mets’star broke a 4-4 tie as the Dominican Republic defeated the Tigers 12-4 in the World Baseball Classic tune-up game on Tuesday night in Santo Domingo.

The Dominican Republic's World Baseball Classic team sure knows how to enjoy itself. The D.R. also knows how to make sure each member of the team is given a properly hard time, when it's called for, and that doesn't exclude superstars like Juan Soto.

The Dominican Republic's loaded lineup mashed again in Wednesday night's win over Venezuela, and will next meet Korea in the quarterfinals.

Following the Dominican Republic’s win over Korea in the World Baseball Classic, manager Albert Pujols highlighted Juan Soto and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. as major threats for Team USA.

Team Dominican Republic are heading into the 2026 World Baseball Classic quarterfinals after winning four consecutive pool games. They are up against Team Korea in Quarterfinal 1 on Friday.

Juan Soto was asked about his favorite teams, and those 2024 New York Yankees were at the top of his list.
