MLB club-by-club breakdown of players in 2023 Classic
When the World Baseball Classic begins on March 8, we know you're going to scream for your country. But what about your favorite big league club? Want to know where your team's guys, Major and Minor Leaguers alike, are playing? You're in luck.
Below you'll find every player currently signed with a big league team and the country they'll be playing for.
Note: Players marked “DPP” are members of their team’s Designated Pitcher Pool. Each WBC team may choose up to 10 players as part of their pool -- these players are eligible to participate in one or more consecutive rounds of the WBC, but if replaced on their team's roster will be unavailable for the rest of the tournament. Affiliated players in Designated Pitcher Pools who are not actively on their team’s WBC roster during a given round will report to Spring Training with their Major League clubs.
