Major League Baseball revealed the official rosters for the 2023 World Baseball Classic, selecting 10 position players and 10 pitchers to try to defend their championship next month.
Team USA’s roster, released on Thursday on MLB Network, includes some of the game’s biggest stars, including Mike Trout, Pete Alonso and reigning National League MVP Paul Goldschmidt.
Five former Red Sox also made the American roster -- Mookie Bets, Kyle Schwarber, Daniel Bard, Adam Ottavino and Ryan Pressly.

They'll be tasked with defending their 2017 title against 19 other teams -- the largest field in tournament history.
