The 2023 World Baseball Classic is in full swing. Team USA suffered its first loss of this WBC on Sunday night as Joey Meneses of the Nationals homered twice in Mexico’s 11-5 win over the Americans. Team USA is back on the field Monday night in Phoenix against Canada. The Dominican Republic is also back in action Monday, hoping to bounce back after an opening loss. Pool play in the WBC wraps up Wednesday, the same day the quarterfinals begin. Half the quarterfinal field is set with Japan, Australia, Cuba and Italy punching their tickets to the knockout round.
This version of the WBC was originally supposed to be played in 2021 but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Action got started on Wednesday, March 8 (technically first pitch of the 2023 WBC opener in Taiwan took place at 11 p.m. ET on March 7), and there will be a total of 47 games. The championship game is set for Tuesday, March 21 in Miami.
Plenty of MLB stars are taking part in the event, including Shohei Ohtani, Juan Soto, Julio Rodríguez, Francisco Lindor, Mike Trout and Trea Turner. Full team rosters can be viewed here, and here’s a primer on the event from CBS Sports’ Mike Axisa. Here are Matt Snyder’s power rankings for the tournament.
