who won baseball classic

Right now, the 2026 World Baseball Classic is still ongoing, so there is no champion yet.

As of mid‑March 2026:

• Team USA just beat the Dominican Republic 2–1 to reach the final.

• The other side of the bracket has featured Venezuela and Italy, with Venezuela eliminating defending champion Japan earlier in the knockout rounds.

If you’re asking about the most recent completed World Baseball Classic, the last finished tournament was in 2023, and Japan won that edition by beating the United States 3–2 in the final.
