As of this morning, the 2017 World Baseball Classic is underway. You probably did not set your alarm to get up at 4:30am and watch Israel play Korea. That’s OK. There aren’t any Orioles involved in that game anyway. You probably also won’t get up at 4:30am tomorrow to watch Jonathan Schoop and the Netherlands take on Korea. That’s OK too.
There are a half-dozen Orioles who will be on the rosters for the first round of play on four different teams: the defending champion Dominican Republic, the United States, Mexico, and Netherlands.
