The faces of the 2026 World Classic

These days, confirmations of players who will represent their respective countries in the upcoming World Classic to take place from March 5 to 17 of next year have begun to circulate on social networks.

How do we know the VI World Baseball Classic will feature the presence of 20 nations divided into 4 groups of 5 teams each. The first phase of this event of balls and strikes will be from 5 to 11 in the 4 baseball parks, where Hiram Bithorn from San Juan, Puerto Rico will receive the teams from group A and will resume actions after 13 years of absence. Groups B and D will be played in the United States, specifically in the Daikin Park in Houston and in the LoanDepot Park in Miami, leaving group C for the majestic Tokyo Dome in the Japanese capital of the same name. From there, the two best finishers from each group will emerge from 13 to 17 in Houston and Miami to settle in sudden death matches the path to the World Classic title held by Team Samurai, the top winner of these tournaments with three and winner in the final of the V Classic 3-2 against the United States team with a legendary ending with Shohei Ohtani striking out Mike Trout for the last out of the match
