Dominican Republic WBC roster: USA opponent is loaded with MLB superstars

One of only three countries to win the World Baseball Classic – along with Japan (three times) and Team USA (one) – the Dominican Republic has a stacked roster for the 2026 tournament including one of the greatest lineups ever assembled.

The Dominicans won the 2013 WBC and have romped through the first five games of this tournament, going undefeated with 51 runs and 14 home runs in the process. Fernando Tatis Jr. (7-for-16, 2 HR, 11 RBIs) and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (7-for-14, 2 HR, 8 RBI) have led the DR’s power surge with Juan Soto, Austin Wells and Oneil Cruz also slugging two homers so far.
