Three-time AL MVP Mike Trout and three-time Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw headline the stacked team, both of whom are rookies to the event.
The USA list consists of six MVP winners, including defending National League MVP Paul Goldschmidt, a member of the 2017 team.

The WBC began in 2006, with Japan winning that year and in 2009. The Dominican Republic took the crown in 2013, and the United States won four years later.
This WBC was originally scheduled for 2021 but was postponed due to the COVID pandemic.
