"Samurai Japan is facing Chinese Taipei at 2 a.m. Pacific Time. The game will be broadcast on FS1. Japan's Saturday game against Korea will be at the same time, presenting another challenge for those who hope to see Ohtani and Hyeseong Kim face off."
"Ohtani will only be hitting for Japan, not pitching, so he's likely to appear frequently. The reigning World Series MVP Yamamoto, however, will be limited in his appearances, and on Friday, he's only expected to go for three innings."
"Ohtani and Yamamoto are the biggest Dodgers stars to compete in the WBC, but World Series hero Will Smith is competing for Team USA, as is former Dodger pitcher Clayton Kershaw. The aforementioned Kim is playing for Team Korea, and newly acquired closer Edwin Diaz is pitching for Puerto Rico."
The World Baseball Classic features several Los Angeles Dodgers players competing for their respective countries. Shohei Ohtani will bat for Japan but not pitch, likely appearing frequently in games. Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the reigning World Series MVP, will be limited to three innings in Friday's matchup. Japan faces Chinese Taipei at 2 a.m. Pacific Time on FS1, with a Saturday game against Korea at the same inconvenient time. Other Dodgers competing include Will Smith for Team USA, Clayton Kershaw for Team USA, and newly acquired closer Edwin Diaz for Puerto Rico. Most games require cable or streaming subscriptions, though some are available free on Fox with an antenna or through Tubi.
