"Nacho Alvarez Jr.: 1-for-3 with a mashed homer, a walk, and a strikeout."
"Japan 13, Taiwan 0. An expected mercy rule slaughter in this game. Shohei Ohtani doubled in the first but ended up stranded, only to hit a grand slam in the second. Not that the Samurai were done then, as they put up a ten-spot in total in the frame, scoring six more times after the slam."
"Cuba 3, Panama 1. Of all the games, this one was probably the most tense. Logan Allen got the start for Panama and made a lot of Cuban hitters look silly with five strikeouts in three frames... but he also got popped for two homers: Yoelkis Guibert pulled a laser down the right-field line for a solo shot in the second, and then Yoan Moncada crushed a two-run homer in the next inning."
Friday featured the first full slate of WBC pool play games with multiple blowouts resulting from talent mismatches and Spring Training conditions including pitch count restrictions. Ronald Acuña Jr. went 1-for-4 with a double and walk, while Ozzie Albies went hitless with weak contact. Nacho Alvarez Jr. delivered a mashed home run along with a walk in limited at-bats. Japan dominated Taiwan 13-0 with Shohei Ohtani hitting a grand slam after an early double. Cuba defeated Panama 3-1 in a competitive matchup featuring strong pitching performances and home runs from Cuban hitters.
