Seiya Suzuki will play in the World Baseball Classic

This actually happened a couple of days ago, but I wanted to weigh in on Seiya Suzuki’s decision to play for Japan in the World Baseball Classic.

First, he has the support of his manager. Here’s what David Ross said

“I put myself in his shoes. I would have loved to play for Team USA. How cool is that? I would never want to take that away from anybody and always kind of push that experience. You should play if that’s where your heart is.”

Suzuki actually announced this on his Twitter feed on Wednesday:
