Terrin Vavra Joins Czechia for 2026 World Baseball Classic Roster

Former Orioles super utility man Terrin Vavra is set to join Czechia for the 2026 World Baseball Classic, providing big league representation for the team. Vavra, whose great-grandfather is from Czechia, has played 68 MLB games across second, third, and outfield corners, and will likely man the infield for the national squad. Manager Pavel Chadim praised Vavra as a "left-hander with pull power" and "great character." Czechia, fresh off a 2025 European Championship bronze, faces a tough Tokyo pool including Japan and Korea, needing a win to avoid future Qualifiers.
