This year, Team USA recruited Aaron Judge to play in his first World Baseball Classic, adding a massive power bat to the lineup. He is joined by both reigning Cy Young winners, Paul Skenes and Tarik Skubal, creating a team that will be tough to beat.
During the WBC, the United States will play in four preliminary round games before getting into knockout stage games in the quarterfinals. If the U.S. goes all the way, the team will play seven total games over the course of 11 days.
Mark DeRosa returns as the United States’ manager for the second-straight WBC, as the MLB Network analyst has some experience as a manager this time around. Unsurprisingly, the U.S. is one of the favorites for the WBC, hoping to unseat defending-champion Japan.
Here’s everything you need to know about the United States’ World Baseball Classic roster and all the details for watching every game.
