Japan in Group B will play in the first round at the Tokyo Dome.



South Korea will play in the second match on March 10th.

The WBC has a history of fierce battles and is likely to become the biggest rival in the first round.

Korea has participated in five consecutive tournaments since the first tournament in 2006.



His best result in the WBC was losing to Japan in the final of the second tournament in 2009 and finishing second.

Most of the players belong to domestic professional baseball teams, but Kim Ha-sun of the Major League Padres, who is both an infielder and pitcher Yu Darvish, belongs to.

Tommy Edman, who was selected for the Gold Glove Award at the Cardinals to which Nutvar belongs, has been selected.



In addition, Lee Jeong-hoo, who won the leading hitter in Korean professional baseball for the second year in a row, has skillful bat control, such as hitting two hits against Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the Japanese national team pitcher, at the Tokyo Olympics.



Japan and South Korea have a record of 4 wins and 4 losses in the WBC, making Japan the biggest rival in the first round.
