FREE on MLB.TV: Team USA faces Rockies in final Classic tune-up

Team USA manager Mark DeRosa has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to crafting his batting order for the World Baseball Classic, and with this roster, it's hard to go wrong.

The skipper rolled out a slightly different lineup for today's exhibition game against the Rockies (watch FREE on MLB.TV) compared to the crew that sparked a 15-1 drubbing of the Giants on Tuesday.

The first five batters carried over from Tuesday's lineup, with Alex Bregman notably moving to second base to make room for Gunnar Henderson at third. Bregman hasn't manned the keystone in the Majors since 2018, and he's only made nine appearances (two starts) there over his nine-year career.

Here is the full Team USA lineup behind starting pitcher Ryan Yarbrough:

1. Bobby Witt Jr., SS
2. Bryce Harper, 1B
3. Aaron Judge, RF
4. Kyle Schwarber, DH
5. Alex Bregman, 2B
6. Gunnar Henderson, 3B
7. Will Smith, C
8. Ernie Clement, LF
9. Pete Crow-Armstrong, CF

Henderson, Clement and Crow-Armstrong all got multiple at-bats and recorded one hit apiece as replacements in Tuesday's win, part of a 19-hit offensive eruption for Team USA. Smith didn't play on Tuesday, when Cal Raleigh got the start behind the plate.

Left-hander Kyle Freeland got the start for Colorado, with Mickey Moniak and Jake McCarthy among the Major Leaguers in the Rockies' lineup.

Team USA will begin World Baseball Classic pool play on Friday against Brazil (8 p.m. ET on FOX).
