Team USA will begin its title defense as part of Pool C in Phoenix, Arizona, from March 11-15 and will face Canada, Colombia, Mexico, and a to-be-determined qualifying team. The Pool C winner and runner-up will advance to the quarterfinals in Miami, Florida, from March 17-18, and match-up against the winner and runner-up of Pool D.
Still lacking another middle infielder, another outfielder, and a designated hitter, the pool of talent that the US has to choose from is formidable. MLB’s Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Dansby Swanson, and Corey Seager could be ideal candidates to pursue, with MLB’s top-notch, Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge obvious targets for the outfield/DH spots.
“I’m looking forward to playing for our country,” said the three-time MLB American League MVP, Mike Trout, “It means a lot to me and my family to represent our country. It’s going to be awesome to have ‘USA’ across my chest. It really means a lot to me. It’s going to be fun.”
