World Baseball Classic: Who Is On Team USA's Roster?

The reigning AL MVP in Aaron Judge. Both Cy Young winners in Tarik Skubal and Paul Skenes. Plenty of All-Stars and big names. Team USA aims to once again go all the way at the World Baseball Classic. After coming up short in the 2023 edition against superstar Shohei Ohtani and Japan, the USA will look to come out on top this time around. Here is the USA's roster for the tournament, which begins on March 5 and culminates with the March 17 championship. Pitchers The pitching roster includes Clayton Kershaw, the Dodgers great who retired after this season. He was a three-time World Series winner with the Dodgers and won three Cy Young awards while also taking home the 2014 NL MVP award. This will be the first time that Kershaw will participate in the World Baseball Classic. Hitters Along with Aaron Judge, the roster includes some big bats in Cal Raleigh and Kyle Schwarber. Raleigh had a historic season with 60 homers for the Mariners, the most ever by a catcher. Schwarber had 56 home runs for the Phillies and now has over 300 homers in his career.  Paul Goldschmidt, who last played for the Yankees, is another former MVP who won the award with the Cardinals in 2022.
