WBC Glory or Hidden Curse? The Shocking Truth Behind MLB Stars’ Post-Tournament Performance Slumps
This season, the team that seems to be suffering a similar fate to the Cardinals in 2023 are the Kansas City Royals, who are coming off their first back-to-back winning seasons in 10 years. After sending a host of players to the WBC, they’re on a pace of 16 fewer wins than last year.
Team USA shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. has a 5.6-point OPS+ improvement from last season, but the other face of the franchise, catcher Salvador Perez, a veteran leader on the Venezuelan team that won it all, has a 64.5 OPS+ that’s 39 points under his career average.
