Two Seahawks Set For World Baseball Classic

WILMINGTON, N.C. – A pair of Seahawks, Matous Bubenik and Martin Zelinka, will suit up for the Czech National Baseball team in March at the World Baseball Classic, being held at four locations throughout the world.

Bubenik joined the Seahawks this year as a freshman catcher, stepping in for Zelinka, who played for UNCW during the 2025 and 2026 seasons.

Joining the Czech team in Pool C are Australia, Korea, Chinese Taipei and defending WBC Japan. Pool play begins on Mar. 5 in Tokyo.

FOX is set to air seven games, including three Pool B games featuring the United States team, two Quarterfinals games, and the World Baseball Classic Championship Game on Tuesday, March 17, from Miami's loanDepot Park.

The remaining matchups will air across FS1, FS2, the FOX Sports app, FOX One and Tubi – full schedule and designations to be announced at a later date. In addition, FOX Deportes will carry 28 tournament games in Spanish, including all four Quarterfinals games, two Semifinals contests, and the Championship Game. Archives of all games in English will be available on demand on MLB.TV.
