Part 9/13:
Major League Baseball is experiencing a renaissance of sorts, with increasing viewership, improved TV ratings, and heightened international interest. The WBC is credited with reigniting passion and curiosity around the sport—similar to how moments like Otani’s at-bats or Trout's heroics have made headlines.
This tournament is expected to break records, especially in countries like Japan, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and now increasingly in the U.S. and Canada. The participation of players with heritage and dual nationality makes the event truly global and fan-friendly.
