Eugenio Suarez has quietly been one of the most productive hitters in baseball over the past decade, but there was nothing quiet about his night against Team USA in the World Baseball Classic championship game.
Team Venezuela shut out the Americans for the first 8 2/3 innings before surrendering a two-out, two-run home run to Bryce Harper in the bottom of the eighth to tie the game 2-2. But Venezuela’s Luis Arraez led off the ninth with a walk and was pinch-run for by Javier Sanoja, who stole second. Then Suarez smacked a Garrett Whitlock changeup on the seventh pitch of the at-bat to the gap in left-center field, giving the Venezuelans a lead they wouldn’t relinquish.
The 3-2 win was the first-ever for Venezuela at the World Baseball Classic, while for the Unites States it was the second-consecutive 3-2 loss in the title game at the WBC.
Which brings us to today’s quiz. Suarez finished the 2026 World Baseball Classic 5-for-20 at the plate with two home runs, a double and four RBIs, and is one of 24 active MLB players to hit 40 home runs in a season. How many of those players can you name in five minutes?
Good luck!
