Henderson is playing in his first World Baseball Classic (WBC) this year, where he is competing with Bobby Witt Jr. for reps at shortstop. With his first start, giving Witt a day off, Henderson collected four hits, making it tough for the Team USA manager to sit him; instead, he moved him to third base in the final game against Italy. In the pool play round, Henderson went 5-10 with one home run and drove in three runs.
