Which WBC team will you be rooting for?

Key Highlights

• There are players from Royals camp on 11 of the 20 teams.
• The United States is the most represented with three different Royals – Bobby Witt Jr., Michael Wacha, and Matt Strahm – but multiple teams have two Royals, including Venezuela and Italy.

• For most of us, that would also be Team USA.
• Or you can choose the team of your heritage, much like many of the ballplayers. Personally, I’ll be rooting for Italy.
• Not only does it count two of my favorite players among its starters in Jac Cagliaone and Vinnie Pasquantino, but that’s also where my own heritage is from.
