"The Mets were among the teams with the most representatives at this year's tournament with the talent spread out among four of the eight remaining teams. Juan Soto and Huascar Brazoban will wear the Dominican Republic colors in Friday's Quarterfinal matchup against Korea on Friday night. Soto owns a .333 batting average on 5-of-20 hitting with two home runs (while also walking five times) over the opening pool play games."
"Team USA brought a Mets-flavor to the pitching staff with two hurlers: Clay Holmes and Nolan McLean. Holmes allowed one hit over three scoreless innings against Great Britain during his only appearance of the tournament McLean had a mixed out against Italy on Tuesday. The 24-year-old pitcher struck out the first inning on 11 pitches, but then he allowed two home runs and three earned runs over the next two innings."
The 2026 World Baseball Classic features significant representation from New York-based teams, with the Mets and Yankees collectively sending over 30 players across multiple nations. Eight Mets players remain in competition after the pool play round, distributed among four of the eight remaining teams. Juan Soto represents the Dominican Republic with a .333 batting average and two home runs, while Huascar Brazoban has pitched scoreless innings. Team USA's pitching includes Mets representatives Clay Holmes and Nolan McLean, with Holmes delivering three scoreless innings and McLean experiencing mixed results. The tournament advances to single-elimination format with playoffs beginning Friday, culminating in a championship game Tuesday night.
