The WBSC Premier12 tournament begins on Saturday, with the 12 highest-ranked baseball national teams in the world squaring off on a global stage.
Team USA vies for its second medal in the third iteration of the tournament. The Americans finished as the runners-up in the inaugural competition in 2015, and finished in fourth place in 2019.
Longtime MLB manager Mike Scioscia will lead a roster headlined by top-ranked prospects Carson Williams (Rays), Matt Shaw (Cubs), and Justin Crawford (Phillies), as well as MLB veteran and ageless wonder, 44-year-old Rich Hill.
