What MLB teams have the most players in the World Baseball Classic?
The World Baseball Classic is filled to overflowing with the top baseball talent in the world, and many MLB teams have supplied their fair share to the competition.
Update:
If you want to follow your favorite MLB player in the World Baseball Classic, you will have ample opportunity. With the league made up of the best players from around the world, each country features a lineup that contains at least one current, former, or future big-leaguer.
Each team has a 30-man roster for the competition, and a further Designated Pitcher Pool. As part of the competition’s effort to minimize stress and injury on throwing arms, pitches and outings will be strictly limited. A further list of pitchers are effectively on standby, though not on the active roster.
The teams with the most players in the competition are the Astros and Cardinals, who each will provide 13 players to various countries. The Mets are behind that with 10 players in the WBC. Just down from there are the Padres and the Angels, who will each provide nine players, while the Dodgers, Phillies, Rays, Mariners, Rockies, and Cubs will all provide eight players to the tournament.
Here are the players for each Major League team who will be competing in the WBC.
