Team Japan

Team Japan's undefeated run through the 2023 World Baseball Classic remained intact after their 3-2 win over Team USA in Tuesday night's Championship game. Team Japan, who won the inaugural and second World Baseball Classic tournaments in 2006 and 2009, added another trophy to the cabinet in the most dramatic style imaginable. Not only is Team Japan the only nation to have secured multiple World Baseball Classic victories, but they also have an astounding record of 30-8 across all World Baseball Classic play.
