Canada will play its first game of the 2026 World Baseball Classic against Colombia in San Juan, Puerto, Rico on March 7.

This will mark the sixth time Canada has competed in the event. And it got me wondering who Canada’s all-time statistical leaders are at the WBC?

For example, who has played the most games for Canada?

Who has the most hits?

Who has the most RBIs?

It wasn’t difficult to find statistics for the individual tournaments, but the cumulative, all-time stats proved to be elusive. So, I did the research myself.

And here’s what I discovered (Today I will focus on the hitters):
