Inside the Secret Strategy That Could Make Team USA Unstoppable in the 2026 World Baseball Classic
He’s still a very good hitter, but his OPS is down from .893 in 2024 to .769 in 2025. He faces stiff competition from three players who were on the 2023 team and are still good players.
Henderson’s MLB numbers probably warrant a pick over Turner, but Turner was the hero of the tournament for the United States in 2023 and would be very difficult to leave off the roster. Witt Jr. was the AL MVP runner-up in 2024 and is in line for a bigger role than pinch runner in the 2026 WBC.
Third Basemen
- Selections: Alex Bregman, Austin Riley
- Also Considered: Matt Chapman, Nolan Arenado, Ernie Clement, Josh Jung
If Bregman is willing to play for Team USA, he’d be an easy pick. It should be noted he has a contract opt-out with the Boston Red Sox.
