I don't know a lot about baseball, I'm a minor follower been to a couple of Vancouver single a games and one Seattle MLB game.

The answer is yes... MLB players absolutely play for their country. It's what makes the Classic so compelling.

The guy you're talking about is Shohei Ohtani. A rare superstar in today's game. Pitchers don't typically hit well... and position players can't pitch. This guy is doing something not seen since the days of Babe Ruth. I'm wondering if he'll play for Japan in the Classic.

Good for you having seen baseball games in person. To me, it's a lot of fun.
