The Dominican Republic, Korea's quarterfinal opponent in the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC), has claimed first place in all eight team batting categories among the 20 participating nations.
According to the WBC website on the 13th, the Dominican Republic leads all 20 countries that competed in the pool stage in team batting average (.313), runs scored (41), home runs (13), RBIs (40), walks (33), on-base percentage (.458), slugging percentage (.672), and OPS (1.130).
As the statistics indicate, the Dominican Republic bombarded opposing pitching staffs throughout their four pool-stage games. They secured their quarterfinal berth with a perfect 4-0 record, powered by their formidable offense. They scored in double digits in three of their four pool games, excluding the Venezuela match (7 runs). Their average runs per game reached 10.3.
