Trout vs. Ohtani is the best scene

[@user-Garugaruzou]

​@ellen bye bot

[@katikudorei]

Japan vs Mexico　USA vs Venezuela　Japan vs USA　Ohtani vs Trout 　 it was awesome

[@joseaguilera5786]

The Mexico vs Japan was a classic. Probably the best game of the WBC.

[@lee-kikmong]

agree

[@gsfs325pika3]

Por que los mexicanos se adjudican eso? Usa vs venezuela y japón usa fueron grandes juegos también

[@1204khalil]

​@@gsfs325pika3 todos de estados unidos? Japón vs mexico fue el más reñido de todos casi siempre con marcadores cercanos lo de Venezuela fue una remontada en la penultima entrada y después defender contrario al de Japón que fue un batazo en la última entrada cuando ma slo necesitaban, lo de usa vs japon casi siguió igual de principio a fin

[@josemiguelq]

Como venezolano de los juegos que más disfruté fue el de México vs Japón.

[@user-rz5cf3it8x]

I think so, too

Mexico Vs Japan new best match in wbc history

That game was so, so GOOD.

USA vs Venezuela is good, too

[@coldplay8680]

Exactly. Japan has gone through the two most dramatic baseball games of the history of WBC two days in a row.

[@my450]

Ohtani vs Trout was like the duel of the fate. Such a fantastic, dramatic matchup 🔥

[@jeffersonott4357]

It was messi vs mbappe, just a few months later. Incredible!

[@kuroneko7022]

US just knew big, bad Trout was going to win over Ohtani. The look on the player’s faces in the US dugout after he struck out was one of disbelief.😂 Y’all should have never introduced the game of baseball to Japan. 😂

[@queriamorir5662]

Damn Im so proud of team Japan and Im not even Japanese, this team is so SOLID! full package batters + pitchers

[@CaptainNippon]

Ohtani Vs Trout matchup will last forever in the minds of baseball fans. How this game ended the screenwriters from Hollywood couldn't have written it any better. It was unreal and yet so real and unbelievable.

[@___._.___7398]

野球の歴史に刻まれる最高の大会だった。特に素晴らしかったのはチェコの健闘、準決勝の村上のサヨナラ、そしてトラウト対大谷。本当に見ていて楽しかったし更に野球が好きになった。開催してくれた事と出場していいプレーをしてくれた選手たちに感謝を。

[@whenisdinner2137]

Another huge highlight was Trea Turner hitting like 4 home runs in 3 games. He was on fire 🔥

[@tk-he7dg]

If Yoshida wasn't in Samurai Japan, it couldn't win Mexico. I'm looking forward to his success in Redsox.

[@Aace00]

Absolutely, Yoshida would probably be favored to win MVP if not for Ohtani’s heroics in the final game.

[@CaptainNippon]

@@Aace00 Agreed. Yoshida should have won the MVP but Ohtani is a force of nature now so everything he does gets 10x the recognition, but Ohtani vs Trout matchup was everything everywhere everyone had hoped for and it came true.

[@32jcueva]

That HR was it. After he hit that I know Mexico was done. 😢

[@84s77]

We are also looking forward to his wife.

[@ra1nriku755]

Without Yoshida, there is no doubt that the team would have been pinched in other matches, including the qualifying rounds. I'm rooting for his success from Japan!

Top Two Great Things About the WBC: 2. The stars from countries you never expected to have baseball (like Vojtech Mensik from the Czech Republic) 1. The incredible amount of FUN that everyone is having.

[@enchantedart7678]

Otani: All of the people who saw the match between Trout are living witnesses. 100 years is an inherited battle🔥

[@kat-rau.]

I love the story behind the Czech team. They're gonna go back to the Czech Republic and continue their normal lives as teachers, electricians, and neurologists, after they, among other things, struck out Shohei Ohtani and cranked a homer out of the Tokyo Dome for a W. Crazy story behind those guys.

[@yakumo8685]

The seen of got a strikeout from Shohei Ohtani is unforgettable. And above all, sincerity for baseball. It was wonderful.

[@tsutenkakug6168]

The final showdown was clearly more than a Hollywood movie.

[@sherlock1405]

Hope baseball spreads more around the world. I can’t also wait to see the round 2 of Ohtani vs Trout.

[@sirporkrib7643]

Won't be for long. Ohtani is not staying with Angels.

[@kuroneko7022]

I hope those Japanese players stop being recruited by MLB. It just goes to show they’re getting help from Japanese leagues to excel because American baseball is not the same as before. The Japanese are so sound, dedicated and focused, they present no problems, that’s why they like them.

[@dimaboll655]

Masataka Yoshida is marvelous

I wish there was a documentary of each team in this tournament…

The world doesn’t understand local us rivalries between cities to others Texas is the same as California it’s just the US. That’s why I think you should stop calling it the World Series…..it is deciding the best team in the world I understand but there are more viewers around the world than in the us alone the wbc was just so much more fun for all of us outside the IS

At the catch by Arozarena I sighed loudly and a few hours later I screamed at the Murakami’s double!

All my friends here in México talk about the wbc , even loving football...this tournament was so incredible and exiting....thanks for these emotions.

[@B00TY_MASHER]

This year’s WBC was insane. Some of the best baseball I’ve seen in a LONG time. Classic matchups culminating in the dream ending. Well done MLB, we’ll done.

[@xmiggiex]

This was honestly the best baseball I’ve seen since I was a kid! Every game mattered, the knockout rounds, nobody went down easy which made for amazing close games, star studded teams showed the power they truly hold, underdog stories, and my personal favorite, the best v the best with everything on the line! Thank you WBC, this was awesome!

[@satsuki3262]

When Arozarena caught the ball, I honestly thought Japan coudn't win. To me, it was the best play of WBC！！！

[@justin507g]

The performance of Japan was outstanding to say the least. Personally, Ukyo Shuto reaching a sprint speed of 30.4 ft/s (ELITE) and reaching home plate from 1st base in only 10.3 seconds (3.08 seconds from 3rd to home) helped Murakami's walk-off, so it should be more evaluated.

[@pumpkinhill4570]

It’s a shame how overlooked it is. Possibly the best base running ever seen.

[@kzo4511]

That's a good observation. Thank you👍from Japan🇯🇵

As a Canadian, I always thought that baseball was mostly played in the USA and a few other countries but I realize that the game is now played in several countries around the world. This is absolutely great for the game. There is so much talent in many countries. As a hockey fan also, the same thing is happening with hockey. I don’t know if the pitcher from Nicaragua (Hebbert) has been drafted by a MLB team but make no mistake, this guy is ready to play in the major leagues. He will be sensational.
