Stars lead the way as World Baseball Classic returns: "Expect everything."
With just two weeks to go until the start of the tournament, when Australia takes on Chinese Taipei at 10 p.m. ET on March 4, it’s time to prepare for the biggest stars in the game to represent their homes. Shohei Ohtani is hoping to lead Japan to a fourth World Baseball Classic trophy -- no other team has more than one. Aaron Judge and Paul Skenes have teamed up in hopes of putting the USA back on top, and the Dominican Republic is bringing a veritable All-Star team to the tournament.
