Unfortunately, being genocidal doesn't exclude a country playing in international tournaments. Cue several "this loss was promised 3000 years ago" jokes.

And Japan beat them to the crown in 2023 (they got knocked out in the semis to Venezuela this time).

Actually baseball has its roots in the British game of rounders. Team GB is mostly Americans with Bahamian heritage. Team Italy is mostly Americans with Italian heritage. So the WBC is a lot of team USA 1 vs team USA 2 vs team USA 3.
