The World Baseball Classic is over, with Venezuela clinching its first title after a thrilling 3โ2 win over Team USA.
But even with all the celebration, two global superstars still stood out: Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge.
Ohtani, fresh off back-to-back World Series titles with the Los Angeles Dodgers, looked to repeat on the international stage, while Judge, one of the most feared hitters in baseball, also came up short against Venezuela.
Still, both delivered during the tournament:
๐น Ohtani: .462 AVG | 3 HR | 7 RBI | 1.842 OPS
๐น Judge: .222 AVG | 2 HR | 5 RBI | .845 OPS
They may have fallen short of the title, but with the MLB season right around the corner, expect both to come back even hungrier, ready to chase records and remind everyone who runs the game.
