Full 2026 World Baseball Classic rosters were announced on Thursday, and the Brewers have plenty of representation, with 14 players playing for eight countries, including a few of Milwaukee’s stars. Let’s take a country-by-country look at the Brewers participating in this year’s WBC.
Canada: Tyler Black & Rob Zastryzny
Tyler Black and Rob Zastryzny will both represent their home country of Canada.
Black, 25, was a competitive balance pick by the Brewers back in 2021 and has displayed strong plate discipline throughout his career. He broke through in the majors in 2024 and has had minimal success in the bigs, hitting .211/.357/.263 with three doubles, three RBIs, and five runs across 57 at-bats between 2024 and 2025. He’ll be looking to compete for an MLB roster spot this spring as a depth piece for the infield.
Zastryzny, 34 in March, was a second-round pick by the Cubs in 2013, making it to the majors with Chicago in 2016. He’s spent the last two seasons with Milwaukee, appearing in 35 games (four “starts” as an opener) with a 2.12 ERA and 25 strikeouts over 29 2/3 innings as a reliable left-handed arm. He previously played for Team Canada in the 2023 WBC, appearing in one game and allowing three runs over two innings of work (13.50 ERA).
Dominican Republic: Abner Uribe
Abner Uribe, 25, was an international signee out of the D.R. He made his debut with the Brewers in 2023, pitching to a 1.76 ERA over 30 2/3 appearances in the second half of the season. He struggled to open 2024, pitching to a 6.91 ERA over 14 1/3 innings before being suspended (which he served in 2025), demoted, and injured the remainder of the year with Triple-A Nashville. He bounced back in 2025, pitching to a 1.67 ERA and 90 strikeouts over 75 1/3 innings as one of Milwaukee’s most reliable bullpen arms.
Great Britain: Miles Langhorne & Jack Seppings
Miles Langhorne, 22, and Jack Seppings, 23, are both relative unknowns in Milwaukee’s minor league system. Both U.S.-born (Langhorne in Connecticut, Seppings in Minnesota), they’re both undrafted free agents who reached High-A Wisconsin in 2025
Langhorne, who went to college at Charlotte, pitched in 15 games with the Low-A Carolina Mudcats, sporting a 3.33 ERA and 28 strikeouts over 24 1/3 innings. After his promotion to Wisconsin, he made 12 appearances, striking out 15 over 14 innings with an 8.36 ERA.
Seppings, who went to college at Brown, debuted with Carolina in 2024, making three appearances with four earned runs over four innings (9.00 ERA). He then made 17 appearances with the Mudcats in 2025, pitching to a 3.46 ERA and 31 strikeouts over 26 innings. After being called up, he made 20 appearances with the Timber Rattlers, pitching to a 3.82 ERA and 25 strikeouts across 35 1/3 innings. Seppings was on the 2023 Great Britain WBC roster while still at Brown, though he didn’t make any appearances.
Fischer, 21, was Milwaukee’s first-round pick out of Tennessee in the 2025 draft. Ranked as MLB Pipeline’s top third base prospect, Fischer spent the second half of the 2025 season at High-A Wisconsin. Across 19 games with the Rattlers, he hit .311/.402/.446 with a homer, triple, five doubles, 10 RBIs, eight runs, and eight steals.
Ortiz, 27, was a fourth-round pick by the Orioles in 2019 before coming over in the Corbin Burnes trade. He had a solid rookie season in 2024, hitting .239/.329/.398 with 11 homers, 60 RBIs, 58 runs, and 11 steals over 142 games while playing above-average defense. Unfortunately, he was unable to repeat that performance in 2025, as just about all of his stats regressed in 2025. He’ll look to bounce back in 2026, starting with Team Mexico this spring.
Nicaragua: Stiven Cruz, Carlos Rodriguez, & Freddy Zamora
We’ll start this group with Carlos Rodriguez, 24, a sixth-round pick by the Brewers in 2021 out of Florida Southwestern State Junior College. He’s bounced between Triple-A and the majors the last couple of seasons. In 2025, he had a 3.82 ERA with 82 strikeouts over 77 2/3 innings with Nashville and a 6.52 ERA with 11 strikeouts over 9 2/3 innings with Milwaukee across four relief appearances. A member of Nicaragua’s 2023 WBC team, Rodriguez made one start with one run allowed (2.25 ERA) and three strikeouts over four frames.
Stiven Cruz, also 24, is another Nicaraguan right-hander in Milwaukee’s minor league system. He reached Double-A Biloxi in 2025, with 35 appearances (one start) between Wisconsin and Biloxi. Across 65 2/3 innings between the two levels, he had a 4.39 ERA with 63 strikeouts.
Freddy Zamora, 27, was Milwaukee’s second-round pick out of Miami in 2020. He hasn’t been able to put together a consistent track record thus far, but he did have a solid 2025 season with the Nashville Sounds. Across 104 games, Zamora hit .257/.353/.348 with four homers, 46 RBIs, 49 runs, and 13 steals.
United States: Brice Turang
Brice Turang, 26, is one of the headliners for Milwaukee, both because he’s one of the team’s top players and because he’s the lone U.S. representative from the Crew. A first-round pick in 2018, Turang has put together back-to-back solid seasons. After a defense-centric 2024 that saw him win the NL Platinum Glove Award, he took a slight step back defensively in 2025 but put it together at the plate, hitting .288/.359/.435 with 18 homers, 81 RBIs, 97 runs, and 24 steals across 156 games.
Venezuela: Jackson Chourio, William Contreras, & Ángel Zerpa
Jackson Chourio, 22 in March, is one of the many stars to watch in this year’s WBC. He’s put together a pair of solid MLB seasons thus far, appearing in 279 games while hitting .272/.317/.463 with 42 homers, 157 RBIs, 168 runs, and 43 steals as one of Milwaukee’s regular contributors.
William Contreras, 28, is another star on this roster as one of the top catchers in the league. He hit .260/.355/.399 with 17 homers, 76 RBIs, and 89 runs across 150 games with Milwaukee this year, and he’s a career .273/.357/.448 hitter over six MLB seasons.
Ángel Zerpa, 26, is one of the newest Brewers, joining the squad as the return for Isaac Collins and Nick Mears back in December. The lefty reliever spent the first five years of his MLB career with Kansas City, pitching to a 3.97 ERA with 150 strikeouts over 177 innings.
