After weeks of competition, the World Baseball Classic reaches its dramatic conclusion on Tuesday. It will be spotlighted by a clash of superstar teammates years in the making.
LIVE: Follow USA vs. Japan updates from 2023 World Baseball Classic finals
It’s hard to argue there are two better players in MLB than Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani. And although neither has been able to capture major league success (thanks a lot, Angels), both find themselves ever-so-close to international glory. Trout’s USA faces Ohtani’s Japan in a battle for bragging rights — and a chance at that much-coveted sterling silver WBC trophy.
The game will take place under the lights, likely in a packed house filled with viewers hoping to see baseball excellence on display. They’ll be spoilt for choice in terms of entertainment: Whether it’s Mookie Betts and Trea Turner or Masataka Yoshida and Muneteka Murakami, both sides will be dripping with stardom.
