For MLB fans waiting with bated breath for the new season, there is some good news. The World Baseball Classic (WBC) is returning in 2023 and will feature a slurry of prime MLB talent.
The 2023 World Baseball Classic will be played between March 8th and March 21st, 2023, at stadiums around the USA, Japan, and Taiwan. It is carefully planned to take place before the majors season, not interfering with any team schedules.
It is the first WBC to be played since 2017. The USA captured the title last time around, with Puerto Rico finishing in second place. Japan and the Netherlands rounded up the top four.
The USA looks set to contend once again this year. Captained by star Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels, they feature a stacked composition of world-class talent. Team USA is certainly the team to beat in the 2023 World Baseball Classic tournament.
