Ozzie Albies Hits Historic Walk-Off Homer for Team Netherlands

Ozzie Albies delivered the first walk-off home run in World Baseball Classic history, lifting the Netherlands to a 4-3 victory over Nicaragua. The clutch hit is an encouraging sign for the Braves infielder, who is looking to bounce back from a career-worst 2025 campaign. As the longest-tenured player on the Atlanta roster, Albies is at a career crossroads, and his performance this season will be vital for a Braves team dealing with several early spring injuries.
