Adam Hall, the Bermuda-born infielder who blazed a trail for the island's talent on the diamond, has been named to Team Canada’s roster for the upcoming 2026 World Baseball Classic.
The 26-year-old free agent received the call from Baseball Canada director Greg Hamilton, marking his first appearance in the national colors since his days with the Junior National Team nearly a decade ago.
The selection completes a remarkable road to recovery for Hall, who saw his 2025 campaign with the Biloxi Shuckers—the Double-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers—cut short by a meniscus injury in late August.
After undergoing successful knee surgery and a rigorous rehabilitation program in London, Ontario, Hall is back to full training as he looks to use the global stage as a springboard for his next professional contract.
A Roster of MLB Stars, Hall joins a powerhouse Canadian lineup that features established Major League talent. He will suit up alongside: Josh Naylor (Cleveland Guardians), Tyler O’Neill (Baltimore Orioles), Bo Naylor (Cleveland Guardians), Otto Lopez (Miami Marlins), Denzel Clarke (Oakland Athletics).
Canada faces a formidable challenge in Pool A, often referred to as the "Group of Death," which will be hosted at the Hiram Bithorn Stadium in Puerto Rico.
The Canadians will have to battle through a gauntlet of top-tier Caribbean and Latin American programs to reach the quarterfinals:
March 7th, 2026 vs Colombia @ Hiram Bithorn Stadium
March 8th, 2026 vs Panama @ Hiram Bithorn Stadium
March 10th, 2026 vs Puerto Rico @ Hiram Bithorn Stadium
March 11th, 2026 vs Cuba @ Hiram Bithorn Stadium
