The 2023 World Baseball Classic is around the corner and not only will José Altuve be playing for Venezuela but he will also have a huge leading role. Altuve will play a key part in the team’s leadership along with also-legend Miguel Cabrera, who will be with the team more because of what he means than because of what he can offer offensively nowadays.
Despite the Venezuelan roster being stacked with stars, Altuve steps up as the leading voice along with Cabrera. He’s the star in the infield, the most experienced player, just won his second World Series, and already knows what playing in the World Baseball Classic feels like.
