Update:

Team Dominican Republic is absolutely loaded with some of the best baseball players on the planet. It will be tough for any team at the 2026 World Baseball Classic to silence those bats or slow down the top of the order of the Dominican Republic. No team has figured out how to keep Soto, Tatis Jr., Machado, Guerrero, etc. from scoring runs so far. Paul Skenes will have to have his best stuff to silence the Dominican Republic’s bats.

Dominican Republic probable lineup against Team USA

  1. Fernando Tatis Jr. (RF)
  2. Ketel Marte (2B)
  3. Juan Soto (LF)
  4. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (1B)
  5. Manny Machado (3B)
  6. Junior Caminero (DH)
  7. Julio Rodríguez (CF)
  8. Austin Wells (C)
  9. Geraldo Perdomo (SS)

Dominican Republic starting pitcher against Team USA: Luis Severino.
