The international baseball tournament is less than a month away. At the start of March, 20 teams will be spread out Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico and Japan, competing in best-on-best action on the diamond.
Who represents each country has been a hot topic for months. Several names have already declared their intentions to represent their home nation. For the United States, that includes MLB superstars such as Aaron Judge, Tarik Skubal, Bobby Witt Jr., Cal Raleigh and Paul Skenes. On the Japanese side, two-way sensation Shohei Ohtani will be running it back with the defending champions from the 2023 WBC.
On Thursday, the final rosters for all 20 teams are set to be announced. Here is the latest on who will be playing at the WBC in March.
