The Colombian Baseball Team intensifies its preparation in Barranquilla with its sights set on the WBSC Baseball America Cup, which will be held in Panama from Thursday, November 13 to Saturday, November 22.

Under the direction of the coaching staff led by José Mosquera Crizón, the team is concentrated at the “Edgar Rentería” stadium, fine-tuning details for this important international challenge.

The contest is presented as a crucial litmus test for the continent’s teams that aspire to participate in the 2026 World Baseball Classic.

The Colombian “blunderbuss” is mainly made up of players with experience in organized baseball and independent leagues, as well as players who remained active in the national territory.

Among the prominent names who seek to raise the name of the country are Dilson Herrera, Jesús Marriaga, Brayan Buelvas, Francisco Acuña and Tito Polo.

Likewise, Carlos Arroyo, Dayan Frías, Fabián Pertuz, Carlos Martínez, Guillermo Quintana, Víctor Vargas, Ezequiel Zabaleta and Carlos Ocampo, who train with dedication to face the high level of the competition.

Colombia has been placed in the demanding Group “B” of the Copa América, where it will have to face major rivals such as Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Puerto Rico and the host, Panama.
