Dusty Baker to manage Nicaragua at 2026 World Baseball Classic

By MLB Premium News Jul 29, 2025 | 4:44 AM

Former MLB manager Dusty Baker is reportedly set to manage Nicaragua during the 2026 World Baseball Classic.
Baker, 76, retired from the major leagues two years ago after winning a World Series with the Houston Astros in 2022 and being named National League Manager of the Year three times. Baker is the eighth-winningest manager in major league history.
Baker also played in the majors for 19 seasons.
“I’m excited,” Baker told USA Today, “… I know baseball is trying to get going in Nicaragua, and I want to help.”
Nicaragua finished 19th in the 2023 WBC but secured a 3-0 record in qualifying for the 2026 tournament and will play in Pool D against Venezuela, Israel, the Netherlands and the Dominican Republic.
