World Baseball Classic 2017: Venezuela could win it all

From now until the World Baseball Classic begins on March 6, we’ll be helping you get to know each team involved in baseball’s global tournament. Today’s entry: Venezuela.

Four years ago, the Venezuelan team had a difficult run at the WBC. They were eliminated from the tournament much earlier than they expected to be, to the disappointment of their country’s fans (and themselves).

Now they’re back, and they’re ready to play. (More games than last time.) And they’ve got the lineup to do it. From top to bottom, Venezuela’s team is stocked with talented players who could help them win it all.
