In 2023, the Dominican Republic had a disappointing run in the World Baseball Classic, failing to advance from the group stage or advance to the knockout stage.

This time, the Dominican Republic returns to the WBC with stars throughout the roster, led by Juan Soto, Fernando Tatis Jr. and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. While the lineup is certainly stronger than the pitching, the team has Cristopher Sánchez and Sandy Alcántara at the top of the rotation.
More interestingly, future Hall of Famer Albert Pujols will serve as the team’s manager for the first time in his post-playing career. Pujols previously played for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic and began managing in the Dominican Republic after his retirement.
With a team full of MLB stars, the Dominican Republic hopes to compete for the WBC title this time, hoping to be named champion for the second time in its history.
Here you will find everything you need to know about the Dominican Republic World Baseball Classic roster and all the details to watch each game.
