"Rogers has been one of the best relief pitchers in baseball since 2021. Over the past five seasons, Rogers has reached the 70-inning plateau in all five seasons, registering a 2.71 ERA and 3.38 FIP in 378.1 innings over the last five years. It's an impressive feat, considering Rogers is a submarine pitcher with a fastball averaging in the mid-80s, relying on a ton of ground balls and soft contact."
"Minor leaguers Adam Macko, Yariel Rodríguez, Will Cresswell, and Ismael Munguia will represent Canada, Cuba, Great Britain, and Nicaragua respectively, while both C.J. Stubbs and RJ Schreck will represent Israel. Alejandro Kirk will represent Mexico, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will represent the Dominican Republic, Kazuma Okamoto will represent Japan, Leo Jiménez will represent Panama, and Andrés Giménez will represent Venezuela, Before Rogers can pitch for the USA, the Americans have to get out of Pool B first, of course."
Rogers has been a consistently effective reliever since 2021, posting a 2.71 ERA and 3.38 FIP across 378.1 innings and reaching at least 70 innings every season. He uses a submarine delivery and a mid-80s fastball to induce ground balls and weak contact. If the United States advances from Pool B, Rogers is expected to join a roster that already includes Ernie Clement and possibly Hoffman. José Berríos could join Puerto Rico, potentially bringing the Blue Jays' representation to 14 players. Multiple Blue Jays and minor leaguers will represent various countries. Pool B play is in Houston starting March 5, with USA beginning March 6.
