Danny Duffy is coming off the finest season of his career, a breakthrough year that saw him finish 12-3, post a 3.51 ERA and solidify his status as a frontline member of the Royals’ starting staff.
Now he’s poised to channel that success to a new avenue.
Duffy is set to pitch for Team USA in the upcoming World Baseball Classic, he confirmed to The Star on Sunday. While his specific role — and potential workload — remains uncertain, Duffy said, for now, he plans to don the red, white and blue when the United States opens the international event at Marlins Park in early March.
