Tarik Skubal, Mason Miller join Team USA for World Baseball Classic

  • On Dec. 18, 2025, All-Star starter Tarik Skubal and relief pitcher Mason Miller will join Team USA for the 2026 World Baseball Classic; it will be Skubal's first time competing for Team USA.
  • The additions deepen Team USA's pitching mix, adding depth to a fierce pitching staff that already included Paul Skenes, Joe Ryan, Clay Holmes, Nolan McLean, Matthew Boyd and Garrett Whitlock.
  • Mason Miller said `It was obviously a no-brainer for me` on MLB Network after posting a 2.63 ERA over 60 appearances with the Athletics and San Diego Padres.
  • The official 30-man Team USA roster won't be set until early February, and the team uses March exhibition games to finalize roles, with the first game scheduled for March 6.
  • Amid a star-studded roster, the U.S. will face Mexico, Italy, Great Britain and Brazil in pool play, with Skubal and Miller joining Aaron Judge, Bobby Witt Jr., and Kyle Schwarber.
