They Put "Win" in Twin

The Harrington twins are a multi-sport duo who have been playing baseball side-by-side since they started their athletic careers as young boys.  

“It's really cool, always having [Hunter] to play with and practice with,” Alex said. “We play every sport together, track, football, basketball, and baseball.” 



The San Diego, California natives are some of the most skilled players in the class of 2026 and have had tremendous success at the WWBA National Championship this week representing the Canes National team. 

The 15U tournament welcomed 368 teams from around the country to the East Cobb Baseball Complex in Marietta, Georgia to compete for the 21st WWBA title. In a close game Saturday Alex, Hunter, and the Canes walked away with a 4-2 championship win and the coveted title.  

“I think we have a really good group of guys,” Alex said about the Canes National squad. “Our chemistry is top-notch. We brought our arms and our guys have thrown incredible this week. Our bats came along at the right time.” 


Competing in baseball, basketball, football, and track, the Harringtons demonstrate serious athleticism that translates onto the field and at the plate.  

Alex got things going for the Canes in their championship matchup against the Mba 2026 Scout Team, scoring the team’s first run off a sac fly from Jaxon Matthews.  

He has also proven to be an offensive powerhouse at the plate all season. On Tuesday, in the Canes fourth game of the tournament, the 6-foot-2 righty stepped up to the plate and drilled a leadoff shot over the fence, recording his first home run of the tournament. He finished off the game with a line drive single to center, scoring teammate Jose Doubront, going 2-for-2 on the afternoon. 

“The worst thing you can try and do is try, so if I try too much that is when things start to get out of whack,” Alex said about his mentality at the plate. “I try to stay relaxed and I’m also a big rotation guy, making sure I am getting rotated, keeping my barrel out front, and short to it long through it.” 


Hunter also showed out in the championship game, going 2-for-2 at the plate, leading off the bottom of the second with a line drive single to right field. From there, Hunter stepped up in the bottom of the fourth with one runner on and drove a double to left, scoring teammate Colton Haire. 

Throughout the WBBA, Hunter was batting right around .450 totaling five RBI and nine runs scored, consistently reaching base on some powerful at-bats.   


The duo verbally committed to Stanford in July of last year and look forward to the academic and athletic challenges the school will bring.  

“I'm a big fan of the West Coast,” said Alex about his decision to commit to Stanford. “I’m also a really big fan of the program. The coaching staff was a big big deal for me, I really like the head coach and the assistant coaches. Education is also a big factor for me and my family as well.”  

Coming off of Sophomore National and the WWBA, the 13U, and 14U Select Festival players will now head back home to California for some rest after playing several tournaments on the East Coast.
