The last time the USA won the World Baseball Classic was in 2017, when it earned an 8-0 win over Puerto Rico. Pitcher Marcus Stroman was named tournament MVP.

It marks the only time that the USA has won the World Baseball Classic, an event that dates back to 2006. Japan has won the event three times in five attempts.

Team USA enters the 2026 WBC as the betting favorites to win it all after putting together its best roster in the history of this event.
