Welp, folks, that’s the end of the 2026 World Baseball Classic that almost all baseball fans could not only enjoy, but also feel the electric energy from the participating teams and kick off baseball season. Congrats to Ronald Acuña Jr. and team Venezuela on a phenomenal and first WBC win.


The Atlanta Braves are back to face the Philies in North Port with Martín Pérez to take the hill against Andrew Painter (not yet updated on mlb.com, but confirmed on the Phillies’ social media).
