This year’s tournament of 20 teams featured plenty of representation for the Milwaukee Brewers, with 14 players playing for eight countries.

Let’s take a country-by-country look at how they fared. Canada: Tyler Black & Rob Zastryzny Canada, which advanced to the quarterfinals for the first time in WBC history, fell to the USA after finishing 3-1 and at the top of Pool A. Tyler Black went 1-for-10 with two RBIs, two runs scored, two walks, five strikeouts, and a steal across four games.

Lefty reliever Rob Zastryzny appeared in just one game, spanning a scoreless inning with two hits allowed and no strikeouts. Dominican Republic: Abner Uribe The Dominican Republic made it to the semifinals, also falling at the hands of the USA. Abner Uribe didn’t have the greatest of tournaments, allowing two runs (one earned) on a hit and three walks with three strikeouts over two innings in three appearances.

Great Britain: Miles Langhorne & Jack Seppings Great Britain went just 1-3 in pool play, failing to advance out of that round. Minor leaguers Miles Langhorne and Jack Seppings each made one appearance for the squad. Langhorne recorded just two outs but didn’t allow a run on two hits with a strikeout.
