Aaron Judge, the reigning American League MVP, has been appointed as the captain of Team USA for the next World Baseball Classic. After missing the previous event in 2023, which coincided with his signing to the Yankees, Judge expressed excitement about leading the team, calling it a "special honor". He emphasized the significance of representing the country, a dream he had as a child. Judge replaces Mike Trout, who was captain in the last WBC.
"It wasn't the best, sitting at home watching Team USA battle. I wanted to be there, it was kind of in the middle of free agency."
"Getting a chance to represent this country... and have Team USA across my chest, it's a great opportunity. I never had this opportunity before, even growing up as a kid."
