Team Summary: Colombia has qualified for the World Baseball Classic just twice and has yet to win more than one game in either appearance. Advancing past the group stage would represent a major achievement for a team light on pitching depth, but their lineup is anchored by established major leaguers and one of the top prospects the country has ever produced.

Top Players: Gio Urshela was part of the wave that helped elevate Colombia’s presence in MLB when he debuted in 2015. He most recently played in the majors with the Athletics in 2025, hitting .238 over 59 games before being designated for assignment. Urshela later suited up for Leones del Escogido in the Dominican Winter League. Along Urshela,, Donovan Solano helped blaze a trail for Colombian players with MLB aspirations, playing for 12 years, most recently with Seattle in 2025.

Best Prospects: Mariners shortstop Michael Arroyo has been a Top 100 Prospect in the past. Heralded as one of Seattle’s better pure hitting prospects, he slashed .262/.401/.433 across High-A and Double-A with 17 home runs and 54 RBIs.
