Is anyone else pumped for this? Hopefully usa sends some top hitters. I can understand pitchers not wanting to go. Isn't the games during spring training? No pitchers will be stretched out.

Why would any top player go?

Japan and Korea will always have the advantage in pitching in this tournament.

The US has sent some decent pitching. It's the hitting that lets the USA down.

Two reasons.

1. Represent their country
2. More fun than spring training

Why would Japan and Korea always have the advantage in pitching? Is it because they're top players play?

If the top American players played wouldn't we have just as good a shot as they do?

They are in season when the tournament begins not mid Spring Training. So they have the advantage in pitching.
