After two weeks of gripping, electric baseball on the global stage, it all comes down to tonight. The matchup of the United States and Japan isn’t exactly an unexpected one, but I’d be hard pressed to describe it as “boring” - especially after last night’s walk-off victory for Japan. And hey, we’ll have a good chance at seeing Mike Trout climb into the batter’s box against Shohei Ohtani, so what’s not to love?
The lineups for the #WorldBaseballClassic final are here!
