The Dominican Republic, which boasts ultra-luxury members and is one of the strong contenders for this tournament, has qualified for the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC) quarterfinals with overwhelming firepower.

The Dominican Republic won 10-1 in the third round of Group D against Israel in the first round of the WBC finals at Rondipo Park in Miami on the 10th (Korea time).

As a result, the Dominican Republic team, which won 12-3 against Nicaragua and 12-1 against the Netherlands, won three consecutive games to advance to the quarterfinals.

Now, the Dominican Republic will play its last group match on the 12th against Venezuela, which has won three games equally.

The reason why attention is paid to the results of the Dominican Republic is that it is related to Korea. South Korea advanced to the quarterfinals in second place in Group C. In response, the team will play the quarterfinals against the second-ranked team in Group D, which includes the Dominican Republic. From the quarterfinals, a single-round tournament will be held. Currently, Group D includes the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Israel, the Netherlands, and Nicaragua. For now, it is very likely that the Dominican Republic, which boasts a strong power, will rise to the top.

On this day, the Dominican Republic organized the starting lineup in the order of Fernando Tatis Jr. (right fielder), Ketel Marte (second baseman), Juan Soto (left fielder), Manny Machado (designated hitter), Junior Caminero (third baseman), Carlos Santana (first baseman), O'Neill Cruz (center fielder), Willie Ramirez (catcher), and Geraldo Perdomo (striker). In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a major league all-star lineup.

The Dominican Republic dominated Israel from the beginning of the game with Fernando Tatis Jr. as a troubleshooter. Tatis Jr. had two hits in four at-bats (one home run) with one run and six RBIs.

The Dominican Republic drew a walk pushed by Gerardo Perdomo in the top of the second inning with two outs and a full base. In the continued grand slam opportunity, Tatis Jr. hit a large grand slam with a distance of 132m over the left fence. The score was 5-0 in an instant. Tatis Jr. also hit a two-run timely hit in the seventh inning, sweeping two hits and six RBIs from four times at bat on the same day alone. In the fourth inning, O'Neill Cruz (Pittsburgh Pirates) drew a solo arch to add firepower.

The mound was also solid. Starting pitcher Brian Beyo (Boston Red Sox) marked seven strikeouts while recording only one homer in five innings. Like Beyo, who has won double-digit wins for three consecutive years in the Major League, he showed a powerful pitch.

On the other hand, Israel failed to advance to the quarterfinals on its own, with only one win and two losses. First of all, Israel has to win the final group match against the Netherlands and wait for the results of other teams.

In other groups, many teams have already been confirmed to be eliminated. In Group A, Colombia defeated Panama 4-3, winning its first victory after three consecutive losses. Panama caught Canada the day before (9th), but was defeated by Colombia on the same day and was confirmed to be eliminated from the group stage.

In Group B, England defeated Brazil 8-1 to escape three consecutive losses. England ranked fourth in the group with one win and three losses, while Brazil was at the bottom with all four losses.
