Orioles sending 6 players to 2023 World Baseball Classic

The Baltimore Orioles will have several members compete for teams from across the world facing off in the World Baseball Classic to take home the crown.

The United States is the defending champion after a memorable run to the title in 2017. Many Orioles fans will remember that year thanks to the incredible highlight play made by then-Orioles outfielder Adam Jones for Team USA against the Dominican Republic. His home run-robbing catch against then-Orioles teammate Manny Machado, propelled the U.S. to the win over Puerto Rico for the championship.

This year will see several Orioles again participating and expected to play major roles for their respective teams.
