Jaden Agacy, the son of "tennis legend" Andre Agacy and Steffi Graff, was beaten in the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC) preliminary round, where he played for the German baseball national team.

Germany lost 7-9 to Brazil in the second Group B match of the 2026 WBC qualifying round at Tucson Kino Veteran Memorial Stadium in Arizona on the 4th (Korea time).
Agacy, who took the mound in the fourth inning as Germany's second pitcher, was sluggish and lost with three hits, two walks and four runs in ⅔ innings.

Agacy is the son of Agacy and Graff, who were superstars, who won eight and 22 major tennis competitions, respectively, married in 2001 and received the most attention in the preliminary round of the tournament.

Unlike his parents, he took the path of a baseball player and entered the University of Southern California (USC) in 2021.

Agassay played in the Major League Baseball (MLB) draft league last year with a 2.96 ERA with 28 strikeouts in 27 ⅓ innings in 6 games and got a chance to play in the WBC in the eyes of German baseball team coach Yendrick Spear.

Graff, who came to support his son, was also captured on camera in the stands.

Agacy took the mound in the fourth inning when his team was 0-0 amid the support of his family, but was in trouble and allowed four runs. Germany could not overturn the deficit in the end.

Germany, which won the cold game in the 12-2 and 7th innings against China the previous day (3rd), was caught by Brazil and recorded 1 win and 1 loss.

In the WBC preliminary round, eight teams compete in two groups for four berths for the finals. After a full league in each group, the top-ranked team will advance to the finals, while the second and third-ranked teams will have the second-ranked team to determine who will qualify for the finals.

Germany will play its third qualifying match against Colombia on the 5th.
