Mets superstar Juan Soto will indeed suit up for Team Dominican Republic in the 2026 World Baseball Classic.
Soto previously appeared in the 2023 World Baseball Classic, and was one of the top hitters in the entire tournament.

In four WBC games in 2023, Soto led all players with a ridiculous 1.500 OPS, recording six hits in 15 at-bats, including two home runs, three doubles, and three RBI. In classic Soto style, he also walked three times.
Soto is coming of a debut season in Queens in which he finished third in MVP voting, posting a .921 OPS with 43 home runs, 105 RBI, 127 walks, and 38 stolen bases.
Along with Soto playing for Team Dominican Republic, fellow Mets Nolan McLean and Clay Holmes are set to pitch for Team USA.
Francisco Lindor, meanwhile, will not suit up for team Puerto Rico after undergoing a recent cleanup procedure in his right elbow.
