The country has been represented in every WBC tournament since the tournament’s inception in 2006 and is coming off its best finish in 2023, when the team finished third. The team had not previously finished better than sixth after a second-round exit in 2006.
The 2026 roster features a few MLB standouts in Randy Arozarena, Alejandro Kirk and Jarren Duran.
The team will compete in Pool B during the group stage in Houston when play begins in March. The group also features rival the USA, Brazil, Great Britain and Italy.
