World Baseball Classic rosters: Here’s which Diamondbacks are in the tournament

Arizona Diamondbacks standouts Corbin Carroll, Geraldo Perdomo, Ketel Marte and Nolan Arenado will take the field for their respective national teams next month for the upcoming World Baseball Classic, as the full rosters were revealed on Thursday. 

Carroll is suiting up for Team USA, which is looking to rebound after losing the championship game to Japan in 2023, an epic finale that ended with Shohei Ohtani striking out his then-Angels teammate, Mike Trout. Carroll joins MLB superstars Aaron Judge, Cal Raleigh, Paul Skenes and Tarik Skubal on a revamped U.S. roster.

    Perdomo and Marte will take their double-play combination to a stacked Dominican Republic team that has retooled after failing to get out of the group stage last time around. They are joined by new Diamondbacks first baseman Carlos Santana, who was the catcher for the WBC-winning 2013 Dominican squad.

    Before Arenado makes his Diamondbacks debut following an offseason trade, the 10-time Gold Glover will perform for Puerto Rico. He played for Team USA at two previous World Baseball Classics (2017 and 2023) but is representing his mother’s heritage this time.

    Outfield prospect Druw Jones will make his WBC debut for Team Netherlands, playing for manager Andruw Jones, his father and recent Hall of Fame inductee. They are the first father-son, manager-player duo in World Baseball Classic history.
