Venezuela's "big gun" Willier Abreu (Boston Red Sox) has been named the best "killer" of the tournament, devastating the U.S. mound after Japan. Roared with a solo shot that went from 1-0 to 2-0 away.

Abreu played as the seventh batter and left fielder in the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC) final against the U.S. at Rondipo Park in Miami, Florida on the 18th (Korea time).

Abreu took the lead in the top of the fifth inning with a 1-0 lead and hit U.S. starting pitcher Nolan McClain's two pitches (96.2 miles of four-seam fastballs) with one strike to hit it over the center fence. The batting speed was 106.1 miles (171 kilometers), and the flying distance reached 414 feet (126 meters).

Abreu's performance in this tournament is truly 'breaking the seal'. Abreu, who sank the Japanese archipelago with a three-run home run in the quarterfinals against Japan on the 15th, broke through the heart of the United States, the final country, on the biggest stage.

Shortly after winning the match against Japan, a video of leading hitter Ronald Acuña Jr. shouting "Weate sushi!" to the camera spread through SNS, and Japanese fans and the baseball community were infested with resentment. Some even claimed that it was a racist expression.

However, Venezuela's momentum did not stop. After beating Italy in the semifinals, this time the team and fans said in unison, "I ate pizza!I once enjoyed the joy of victory by cheering.

And in the final of fate, Abreu is running a cool home run in Miami, the U.S. mainland, and is now about to eat "hamburger." Venezuela's unique "combatant celebration" of celebrating victory by mentioning the other country's symbolic food continued to the final stage.
