MIAMI — In the end, it all came down to Shohei Ohtani vs Mike Trout.
The Angels teammates squared off for the final at-bat of the 2023 World Baseball Classic in a legendary matchup between two of the game’s powerhouses as a sellout crowd of 36,098 at loanDepot park and fans around the world followed every delivery of the ball in anticipation.
Ohtani stifled a swinging Trout, with an 87.2 mph sweeper in a full count with two outs — pumped his first, threw his glove and then his hat in jubilation — and Team Japan hoisted the trophy to celebrate its third tournament championship with a 3-2 victory over Team USA.
