Jonathan Loaisiga’s appearance with Team Nicaragua in the World Baseball Classic didn’t get off to an ideal start.

When Loaisiga entered in the eighth inning, Nicaragua still held a 1-0 lead that had lasted since the fifth. He forced a groundout against his first batter. But a single, a hit by pitch and another single followed, and Israel quickly erased its deficit.

The most damaging hit came later in the inning, with the bases loaded and two outs. Garrett Stubbs, the Phillies’ backup catcher serving as Israel’s third baseman, turned a 98 mph 2-2 pitch from Loaisiga into an opposite-field, ground-rule double that one-hopped the fence. Nicaragua fell to 0-2 in the tournament.

Loaisiga’s ERA for the WBC now sits at 27.00. He’s one of six Nicaragua players affiliated with MLB organizations, though only two are on 40-man rosters, according to The Post’s Greg Joyce.Getty ImagesLoaisiga will pitch in his sixth MLB season with the Yankees this year, and he appeared in 50 games and threw 48 innings in 2022.

He’ll have an adjustment with the pitch clock implemented this season — Loaisiga took an MLB-high 19.8 seconds between pitches last year with no runners on base — butThat didn’t continue over into the WBC, though. Nicaragua closes its Pool D schedule with games against the Dominican Republic and Venezuela on Monday and Tuesday, respectively.
