Can Team USA's Reinforced Pitching Outsmart the World's Best Sluggers at the World Baseball Classic?

Another All-Star Lineup

While the pitching differentiates Team USA from its past WBC squads, the Red, White & Blue has long been about flexing muscle in the tournament.

In 2023, the United States had tourney highs of 12 home runs and 30 extra-base hits in seven games.
