After coming up short in the 2023 edition against superstar Shohei Ohtani and Japan, the USA will try to turn the tables this time around. Here is the USA’s roster for the tournament, which begins on March 5 and culminates with the March 17 championship.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
