Led by manager Mark DeRosa, Team USA hopes to defend its crown, having won the last WBC that took place in 2017. Marcus Stroman was named the MVP of the WBC Championship in 2017, but Stroman will not be pitching for the US. Instead, he will join Team Puerto Rico, who Team USA defeated in the championship game of the 2017 event.

Team USA will feature stars Mike Trout, Mookie Betts, Nolan Arenado, Paul Goldschmidt, Trea Turner and several others.
