Talk:2023 World Baseball Classic (Rosters)

I forget from 2017 - did we list people tentatively who had 'committed' - ex. Trea Turner for the US, Javier Baez for Puerto Rico. - Mischa (talk) 12:30, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

I think you can safely wait until actual rosters are announced next spring. There's no rush. Philippe (talk) 14:38, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Since South Korea did announce an official roster, I'm adding that. I don't know if all the weights are up to date. Only four players return from the 2017 roster! - Mischa (talk) 17:07, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

All rosters have been announced. I will be adding them as time allows, but given the amount of data, if anyone else can help, that'd be great - Mischa (talk) 13:07, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Philippe's got Canada. I figured the US will be popular so am starting with some of the other major teams - doing D.R. right now - Mischa (talk) 13:35, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

I think what I have so far is all I'll get to before Sunday. - Mischa (talk) 19:02, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Looks like the rosters for Britain, Czech Republic, Panama and Nicaragua list guys both from the WBC Qualifiers and the WBCs. Might make sense to hold off on those until the site gets cleared up - or use other sources for them - Mischa (talk) 19:06, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Coaching staff for the Netherlands is incorrect on the WBC site; just lists Australia's staff instead. Also, the WBC site says Dwayne Kemp is on the Dutch team while Marco Stoovelaar's site says he's a reserve; I'll go with the official site on that one - Mischa (talk) 17:16, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Also, Stoovelaar lists 8 of the pitchers as part of the designated pitcher pool with 14 others on the roster. The WBC site doesn't differentiate at this point. - Mischa (talk) 17:18, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Nobody's gotten to the US yet so I'll get that one. - Mischa (talk) 18:29, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

The WBC site lists Nick Martinez while USA Baseball does not and articles say he opted out in January. - Mischa (talk) 18:41, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

I was starting to put in uniform numbers from the WBC site but it shows two players wearing #51 for the US so I don't think it's accurate. - Mischa (talk) 18:45, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

11 rosters up. Over halfway - Mischa (talk) 11:20, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

The official site is missing demographic info for most of China's team and the Baseball America listings don't have their teams so I'm gathering what I can from the Taiwanese Baseball Wiki, making this one a bit slower - Mischa (talk) 17:01, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

The WBC site gives China's skipper as Dean Leroy whereas others list Dean Treanor, whose middle name is Leroy. I'm going with that. - Mischa (talk) 17:46, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

I think Tim Kennelly is listed out-of-position on the official rosters; he hasn't pitched in a game in ten years. Also, need to see Chris Oxspring still active. He's as old as me and older than some of the managers. - Mischa (talk) 17:52, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Past 2007 Baseball World Cup as our 10th-largest page in terms of bytes though 3 of the 4 WBCs are ahead of them. The longest rosters page, having passed the 2017 WBC Rosters thanks to the extra teams (and I'm still not done) - Mischa (talk) 18:15, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

All teams done. The 8th-largest page, between Roberto Clemente and 2015 Premier 12 - Mischa (talk) 18:36, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

I was right on Kennelly and Treanor; wrong on Kemp - Mischa (talk) 21:37, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
