The World Baseball Classic (WBC) is back.
It's men's baseball's biggest global tournament, jointly sanctioned by Major League Baseball (MLB) and the sport's international governing federation the World Baseball Softball Confederation, and it's making its return after six years.
Unlike other major men's baseball tournaments, MLB players are allowed to participate in the WBC. For the first time, 20 teams (up from 16) will participate in the final tournament, with four teams having made it through a preliminary qualifying round.
