Other key contributors for Samurai Japan include Seiya Suzuki and Munetaka Murakami, giving them a potent lineup and rotation as they aim to repeat their success from three years ago.
Team USA enters 2026 with one of its most accomplished rosters ever assembled, seeking to avenge its 2023 runner‑up finish. The American team is built around top MLB talent, including stars such as Aaron Judge, Paul Skenes, and Tarik Skubal, along with a host of other elite major‑league hitters and pitchers. This blend of power hitting and frontline pitching makes the United States a favorite once more, while other contenders like the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and Venezuela boast deep lineups with their own MLB standouts, setting up a compelling clash of baseball’s best on the international stage.
