How Ezequiel Tovar’s Surprising Leadership Sparked a Rockies Revolution in the World Baseball Classic
Team Canada (3-2, eliminated in quarterfinals)
With their lone loss coming against Panama and a win against Puerto Rico, Canada emerged as the surprise top seed of Pool A and advanced to the knockout round for the first time in World Baseball Classic history. Unfortunately, they met a team in the quarterfinals they had never beaten in Team USA and were eliminated in a 5-3 loss.
The Rockies sent two French Canadians to the tournament. 2025 seventh round draft pick Antoine Jean made his professional debut wearing the Canadian national uniform.
“Just walking into our locker room for the first time and seeing your name on that Canada jersey [was the highlight of the tournament],” Jean said.
