The identity of Team USA for the World Baseball Classic is starting to materialize. The Atlanta Braves alumni make up a bulk of the coaching staff. However, just one current player is projected to take the field for America.
Bleacher Report's Zachary D Rymer projected Austin Riley to be part a "perfect" Team USA's roster. He would make his first apperances in the WBC and serve in a bench role. The starting job at third base went to Gunnar Henderson of the Baltimore Orioles.
Rymer likes Riley for the power he brings and his ability to play both corners of the infield.
