Jaden Agassi Joins German Baseball Team for World Cup Qualifiers

The son of tennis icons Steffi Graf and Andre Agassi will debut as a pitcher for Germany in March's World Baseball Classic Qualifiers.

Jaden Agassi, 23, has been selected to pitch for the German national baseball team in the upcoming World Baseball Classic Qualifiers in Tucson, Arizona.
Agassi, the son of tennis legends Steffi Graf and Andre Agassi, has pursued baseball instead of following his parents' tennis legacy.
The German team will face China, Brazil, and Colombia, needing a top-two finish in their group to secure a spot in the 2026 World Baseball Classic.
Agassi has shown promise in the MLB Draft League, earning recognition as Player of the Week in 2024, despite setbacks from an earlier elbow surgery and the pandemic.
His inclusion has brought unprecedented attention to the German baseball team, with Agassi expressing a desire to establish his name in baseball rather than tennis.
