The 2023 World Baseball Classic Pool D was the fourth of four pools of the 2023 World Baseball Classic that took place from March 11 – 15 at LoanDepot Park in Miami, Florida.[1] The top two teams automatically qualify for the top eight knockout stage, with the entire bottom half of the bracket in Miami.[2] The teams in this pool consisted of Dominican Republic, Israel, newcomer Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, and Venezuela.[3]
With Venezuela winning all games and advancing to the quarterfinals as pool winners,[4] the game between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic on the last day determined the second quarterfinal spot, with the winner advancing and the loser being eliminated. Puerto Rico defeated the Dominican Republic 5–2 to advance, with celebrations cut short as closer Edwin Díaz suffered an injury during the celebration.[5] Nicaragua lost all games and was relegated to the 2026 World Baseball Classic qualifiers.[6]
