"The Dominican Republic's WBC roster is undoubtedly one of the finest all-around teams ever composed in a tournament like this, boasting perennial All-Star-caliber hitters and pitchers at every position. Names like Fernando Tatis Jr., Juan Soto, Manny Machado, Ketel Marte, and José Ramírez will surround Guerrero on the diamond and compose an incredibly tough lineup for any opposing pitcher(s) to have to face."
"Guerrero is coming off one of the best years of his career despite falling short of his career highs in certain areas, as his incredible postseason performance was one for the ages breaking a few records along the way. This WBC will be the first time Guerrero is representing the Dominican Republic on a national stage and he's got a pretty good track record of showing up in important games lately."
"Guerrero cemented himself as the best October performer in Blue Jays history with what he accomplished in 2025. He batted .397 across 18 games in the playoffs, including a franchise-record eight home runs, six doubles, and 16 RBIs. Guerrero was also named ALCS MVP for his efforts in the Blue Jays' trouncing of the Seattle Mariners in the back-and-forth seven-game series."
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will represent the Dominican Republic in the 2026 World Baseball Classic despite being born in Montreal. He missed the 2023 WBC because of a knee injury and is now ready to participate. The Dominican roster features elite hitters and pitchers at every position, including Fernando Tatis Jr., Juan Soto, Manny Machado, Ketel Marte, and José Ramírez, creating a formidable lineup. Guerrero delivered a historic 2025 postseason, batting .397 across 18 playoff games with eight home runs, six doubles, and 16 RBIs, and earned ALCS MVP honors as the Blue Jays defeated the Seattle Mariners in seven games. The WBC format combines group play with a playoff bracket.
