Ross brings a wealth of experience, both as a former player and manager, to Team USA’s 2026 WBC coaching staff. Other new coaches include Skip Schumaker, Matt Holliday, George Lombard, and Fredi González.
Hopefully Ross will be able to be a part of a championship USA team. They are looking to win the WBC for the first time since 2017. During the last WBC, 2023, Team USA lost to Japan in the title game.
