For brothers Ramón and Luis Urías, representing their beloved Mexico on the baseball diamond has always been a cherished dream. Now, that dream is about to become a beautiful reality as the talented infielders prepare to play as teammates for Team Mexico in the 2026 World Baseball Classic.

The announcement came Tuesday to the delight of Mexican baseball fans, who have long admired the Urías brothers' journey from their hometown to Major League Baseball. While both players are currently exploring free agency opportunities for the upcoming MLB season, they know exactly where they'll be when March arrives: proudly wearing Mexico's colors in Houston.

This moment feels especially meaningful given the brothers' previous disappointment. In 2023, both Ramón and Luis were set to represent Mexico together, but a last-minute insurance issue prevented Ramón from participating. Though Luis went on to have an impressive tournament, hitting .278 with a home run across six games and helping Mexico achieve their best-ever third-place finish, the experience was bittersweet without his brother by his side.

Now, three years later, the stars have aligned perfectly. The brothers will finally share the international stage, bringing their combined experience and passion to a Mexican squad that's already generating tremendous excitement.

Ramón, 31, brings six years of Major League experience to the team, having spent the 2025 season contributing to both the Orioles and Astros with 11 home runs and solid defensive play across 112 games. His younger brother Luis, exactly three years his junior, logged his eighth big league season in 2025, hitting eight homers in 96 games with the Athletics before finishing the year developing his skills at Triple-A with the Brewers organization.

The brothers will join an impressive roster that already includes fan favorites Randy Arozarena, Jarren Duran, and Alejandro Kirk. This combination of talent and heart positions Mexico as a team to watch in the tournament, building on their historic 2023 performance.

Mexico's journey begins on March 6 when they face Great Britain at Houston's Daikin Park, with first pitch scheduled for 1 p.m. ET. For the Urías family, it will be an emotional moment that transcends baseball—a celebration of heritage, brotherhood, and the power of perseverance.

The brothers' story reminds us that sometimes the most meaningful victories aren't measured in statistics alone. After years of hard work and one previous heartbreak, Ramón and Luis Urías are getting their chance to create memories together that will last a lifetime, inspiring young Mexican players who dream of following in their footsteps.

As fans count down to March, one thing is certain: when the Urías brothers take the field together for Mexico, they'll be playing for something far greater than themselves—they'll be representing their country, their family, and every person who's ever been told to keep chasing their dreams.
