The 2023 Team USA World Baseball Classic roster just grew a little bit stronger.
Kansas City Royals right-hander Brady Singer announced today that he will be participating in the legendary event next March.
Team USA won the title in 2017, when the Classic was last played.
After the pandemic put the Classic on hold in 2021, the event will be returning in the spring of 2023.
Singer and Colorado Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland give Team USA a full starting rotation.
Adam Wainwright, Nestor Cortes, and Merrill Kelly had already committed to the roster.
MLB tweeted a cool graphic featuring Singer and Team USA’s slogan, “All In.”
