The Czech Republic announced its roster for the 2023 World Baseball Classic, the first time the country will be participating after a Cinderella run through the qualifier.
Longtime major league infielder Eric Sogard and former Cleveland minor league catcher Martin Cervenka lead a team that is largely comprised of working professionals who play in the Czech major league in their spare time.
Others with affiliated professional experience include Orioles minor league righthander Jan Novak and former Angels minor league infielder Vojtech Mensik. Righthander Boris Vecerka signed with the D-backs in December.
