Bobby Witt Jr. has committed to play for the United States in the 2026 World Baseball Classic. Witt joins Aaron Judge and Paul Skenes as commits for Team USA.
\"It\'s truly an honor,\" Witt told MLB Network. \"It\'s something I\'ve kinda dreamed about my whole entire life. Just being part of that team a couple years ago was amazing, and now we\'re going to bring home the gold.\"
Witt played in the 2023 WBC in a bench role, but has since emerged as one of the best players in the MLB with an MVP runner-up finish in 2024.
\"It\'s so special to be able to represent the best country, I believe, in the world,\" Witt told MLB Network. \"It\'s so special to do that. You\'re always playing for the team on your chest, but there [the WBC], it just means more.\"
