Rafael Devers, San Francisco Giants designated hitter, will play for the Dominican Republic in the upcoming 2026 World Baseball Classic. Following a modest performance in the 2023 WBC, where he recorded 2 hits in 16 at-bats, Devers continues to add to his international experience. His recent trade from the Boston Red Sox to the Giants marks a new chapter in his career. He joins Juan Soto as one of the few players committed to the team, with others like Fernando Tatis Jr. anticipated to join due to his father's role as hitting coach.
Devers was traded to the Giants earlier this month, marking an end to his nine-year stint with the Boston Red Sox.
The Dominican Republic went 2-2 in the last iteration of the tournament, qualifying for the 2026 event despite failing to advance out of Pool D.
