Despite not controlling their own destiny after their shock 8-6 defeat to Italy, Team USA has managed to move on to the World Baseball Classic quarterfinals.
Captain Aaron Judge and company will take on Canada, who clinched their first berth in the WBC quarterfinals with a 7-2 victory over Cuba. The Stars and Stripes has been the second-highest scoring team in the WBC group stage (35 runs, 8.75 runs/game), and will be looking to push onward to a championship win after last tournament's defeat to Shohei Ohtani and Japan in the 2023 Finals.
While the USA hasn't been slugging as well compared to some of the other teams that are present in the quarterfinals, they do lead the tournament in hits (41). The outbreak of Boston Red Sox young star Roman Anthony in this WBC is sure to make him more of a household name ahead of this MLB season. Team USA has had some trouble on the mound, as they have the second-highest ERA among quarterfinal teams with a 3.50 cumulative ERA (Korea: 4.50).
Canada only managed to total two home runs in group stage play, but their defense and pitching are what have led them to victory. Canada currently has the second-lowest cumulative ERA heading into their quarterfinals matchup with a 1.50 ERA (Puerto Rico: 1.22). Opponents are hitting a mere .211 against the Canadians. Many expect their run to end at the foot of Team USA, but the WBC manages to throw surprises at fans in every tournament.
