World Baseball Classic 2023: Full schedule and how to watch live.and Major League Baseball in 2018.īookmark this article and come back for updates on Ohtani, his performances in Spring Training, and how he does at the 2023 WBC. This is the first time he has suited up internationally since moving to the U.S. While he was called up for the 2017 WBC, he was forced out of that tournament by an ankle problem. At that tournament, he and Team Japan won the bronze medal. His last appearance with the Samurai Japan at a competition was at the 2015 WBSC Premier12, the top WBSC international tournament in men's baseball not featuring MLB players. Ohtani, arguably MLB's greatest ever two-way player (meaning he both pitches and hits, while players normally only specialise in one) surpassing Babe Ruth, is the star of the Japanese national team at the WBC – where he's wearing the national jersey for the first time in nearly eight years. None more so than the 2021 American League Most Valuable Player Ohtani, whose return to Japan has set the sports pages alight in his home country. With Major League Baseball (MLB) players eligible to compete in men's baseball's biggest international tournament, which is jointly sanctioned by MLB and the sport's international governing body WBSC, much of the focus is on the MLB superstars donning their national team jerseys. The 2023 World Baseball Classic (8–21 March 2023) features some of the sport's biggest stars, including Japan's Ohtani Shohei.
