Autumn Dreamin

Terrible look for Maki

Australia is actually in a pretty good spot with their low scoring victory in hand.

Electric for PR Wild to have two walkoff HRs in a day after none in all previous WBC games

Pretty nice 10p inning from Alberto topping out at 98.9...I think he's easier to stash in the short term than Paez.

Home broadcasts for road games are very rare in spring training, CHSN isn't really an outlier here.

The WBC is great

Rough call against Mune

He hasn't played in a real game yet, but at least there's this?

Youngest player in the WBC (and 2026 draft eligible...)

Big George is an incredibly strong young man lol

Kelenic with 2 nice catches and a 3 run HR (111mph, 419)

I was posting Sox/Murakami specific highlights here, but I think it makes sense for general WBC talk to have its own thread.

Mune started the rally with a walk and keeps it going with an RBI single as Japan bats around in the second. A walk, run scored, hit, and RBI in one inning can't be too common.

Mune tried to match him:

Interestingly, his top EVs in spring are all against 95mph+ He actually has the highest recorded EV of any White Sox batted ball so far (111.4), and it was against a 98mph heater

People have been pretty dismissive of Mead based on last year, but it does look to me like he made some kind of adjustment over the offseason. His EVs, barrel%, and pullair% are all way up in spring so far. Wonder if he was another participant in the Fuller bat speed program.

Big go ahead 3 run HR for Mead in WBC
