Previewing the USA at the World Baseball Classic

Team USA’s roster is all set to go and now we’re just a few short weeks away from the first game of the World Baseball Classic. This fun tournament pits country against country and features many of the best baseball players around the world. This is a great opportunity to see those stars from Japan, Cuba and China among other countries we typically wouldn’t be able to see.

Who are the stars that we’ll see on Team USA? Well, the roster was released a few weeks back and the roster is stacked. This should be the best team that USA has fielded in this tournament’s short history.

The first game for Team USA is March 10 against Columbia with games against the Dominican Republic and Canada the two days after. Be prepared for some great action! Until then here is the roster for Team USA…
