Puerto Rican rapper Young Miko threw the ceremonial first pitch before Team Puerto Rico’s World Baseball Classic game against Panama on March 7, 2026, where Puerto Rico won with a walk-off homer by Darell Hernaiz in extra innings. Kiké Hernández, recovering from elbow surgery, attended the game in a supportive role, expressing the unique significance of representing one’s country in the WBC compared to MLB. He will be in Houston for Puerto Rico’s quarterfinal match against Italy, while his rehab is progressing well, aiming for a return by late May. Dodgers left fielder Kyle Tucker also made headlines with his first spring training home run in a recent game.
