    This victory gave Samurai Japan its third WBC championship, following wins in 2006 and 2009. Team manager Kuriyama Hideki led the team to victory over an all-star US squad, hailing from the home of baseball, at the final game held in Miami, Florida. “All Japan’s players were nothing but smiles,” he said immediately after the win.
    Taking the field for Japan in this year’s tournament were a number of Major League players—Ohtani, pitcher Darvish Yū (San Diego Padres), outfielder Yoshida Masataka (Boston Red Sox), and Lars Nootbaar, whose mother is Japanese. The star-studded roster made the WBC games more popular than ever in the Japan market.
    Japan finished the tournament 7-0, the second ever team to finish the WBC undefeated, joining the 2013 Dominican Republic squad. It was a storybook performance with a storybook ending, and Japan lived up to its reputation not just in this game, but in the entire tournament.
    The 2023 win, in comparison saw Japan staking out its own territory on the Major League–style stage and beating its opponents at the big-ball game. This was a championship celebrated at home in Japan even as it showcased the potential of Japanese baseball to the global audience.
