After his achievements with Hiroshima Toyo Carp in Japan, Suzuki signed with the Chicago Cubs of Major League Baseball (MLB) this year. With a batting average of.262, the 28-year-old has 14 home runs for the Cubs this year.
The five-time All-choice Stars will be supported, according to Cubs manager David Ross. I tried walking in his shoes,” Ross remarked. “I had always wanted to represent Team USA.

“How amazing is that?
“Never in a million years would I want to deprive someone of it, and I always kind of push that experience. If playing is your passion, you should pursue it.
Suzuki led Japan to victory in the WBSC Premier12 in 2019 with a batting average of.444 and three home runs. From March 8 to March 21, 2023, matches of the edition are scheduled to take place in the US, Japan, and Taiwan.
