by: Ismael Valdez
Sports reporter from Yahoo Sports wrote a fine piece March 18, 2026 on World Baseball Classic “Despite the most star-studded roster in American baseball history, despite a revenge tour that inspired a cavalcade of stars to put spring training aside and finally buy in to playing for their country at the World Baseball Classic, the result was almost exactly the same for Team USA as it was in 2023” It was a sad loss with the score 3-2 against team Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic 2026. Team Venezuela wins World Baseball Classic of 2026!
This USA team which featured the likes of Most Valuable Player 2026 Aaron Judge, home-run leaders Cal Raleigh and Kyle Schwarber, to add Bryce Harper, Paul Skenes, one would see this as Murderer’s Row! Yet in this classic it wasn’t so!.
The championship game looked as if Team USA didn’t seem to be having fun, to add didn’t want to be there! Three Strikes! Strike 1-The big bats didn’t hit! they must’ve left close about over 8 men in scoring position. It wasn’t only Aaron Judge not hitting it was everyone! Good news Bryce Harper did hit a game tying HR in the championship game yet that was it! USA team in general only had Three hits! With men in scoring position it seemed like they just choked or god knows. Strike 3-Mark DeRosa manages the United States national baseball team (Team USA) in the World Baseball Classic (WBC). He was appointed manager for the 2023 tournament—leading them to a silver medal—and returned to manage the team for the 2026 World Baseball Classic. Yet here’s the thing if he lost the last time why pick him again? Dave Roberts who just won his Third Championship this past year 2025 with Los Angles Dodgers would’ve been a good choice.
As for team Venezuela The pitching was the key factor in them the championship game, to add their defense. The hitting just like Team USA didnt drive in a lot of runs yet when they hit they came thru. With all the politics taking place former Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro who was captured by U.S. special forces on January 3, 2026, during a military operation named “Operation Absolute Resolve”. Wow he and Venezuela are clapping and dancing! Wow the great Liberator Simon Bolivar be so happy! Arriba Venezuela!
