Lucas Ramirez hits his 2nd HR of the game for Brazil, the swing & drop is perfect

07.03.2026 03:58 πŸ‘ 39 πŸ” 5 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 3

Lucas Ramirez had three home runs all of LAST SEASON in 60 games in the lower Minors.

The fact that he’s matched that total against some of the best pitchers on the planet this week is freaking cool.

Lucas Ramirez has homered against Logan Webb and Gabe Speier tonight.

He also homered against Jacob deGrom in Team Brazil’s exhibition game earlier this week.

Cool stuff.

With 17-year-old Joseph Contreras and 40-year-old Tiago da Silva, Brazil is the first team in WBC history to use players 40+ and under 18 in the same game

Only other team to use a sub-18-year-old and 40+ year-old in the same WBC at all:

Brazil in 2013: Daniel Missaki (age 16), Ernesto Norris (40)

Junior Caminero was built for these moments. Man, he is so much fun.

Kinda losing my mind about Jose Contreras’ 17-year-old son pitching against Team USA in this game.

I would not give up a HR on that pitch to Aaron Judge because I am built different

Aaron Judge is so good lol

Woah. Four straight Nicaragua hitters have reached against Cristopher SΓ‘nchez. It’s 1-0 (and counting).

This is what a 448-foot triple looks look.

Also, Bryce Eldridge has put together some really good swings against legitimately good MLB pitchers this spring (this one was against Andrew Abbott).

Wow. Jonathan Aranda gives Mexico the lead with a three-run homer into the Crawford Boxes in Houston.

Minutes after Thompson’s clutch catch, Harry Ford crushed a game-tying solo home run.

Great Britain is really making a game of this.

What a play from Trayce Thompson in right field. Great Britain got out of a major jam and still only trails 1-0.

Not sure I pegged Javier Sanoja as being the first player to homer for Venezuela's loaded lineup

Molly Jolly being a real name will never not be funny to me
