"SHOWTIME!"
YOUR WBC 56 SOUTH AMERICANASTAN BEARS
Lights! Camera! Action! The Bears roll into their 6th WBC entry with a new, polished look and feel! Featuring a core of players in their prime lead by veterans and followed by promising prospects such as Tommy Vincent and Frank Monteforte, they're kicking down the door to the upper echelons of the WBC and flattening anyone standing behind it! Bench Coach Buck Waterlane has arrived to whip this ragtag group into a prim and proper group of national all-stars fit to take on even the most hard-hitting of international heavyweights! It's showtime for the South Americanastan Bears!
A pitching staff of the nation's greatest aces and relievers headline the roster and look to wreak havoc on the defensive end. Coached by Nicholas Morrison, the Red [Steam]'Rollers, as they have come to be called, step into this tournament at the top of their game, with each of the first four starters having 5 WBCs experience. Newcomer Quinn Kozalski is coming off his best domestic season yet, totalling a 1.89 ERA across 29 starts with a record of 21-3 and hopes to continue that success on the biggest stage, on the back of a nasty screwball and disorienting changeup. In the bullpen, reliever Sam Harrison looks to continue his comeback story after an all-star appearance in WBC 55 and his dominant performance at the group stage closer.
A star-studded batting lineup runs up the score on the offensive end lead by star veteran Jack Manning and bookended by Frank Monteforte, slotted in as a "second leadoff". Featuring Garry O'Hanagan at cleanup and Jacob Monte in the 7 spot, this team can score from any point in the lineup. The young Tommy Vincent features in the 6 hole, a rare contact hitter on a team full of power threats. His legs force pitchers and catchers alike to stay on their toes, as he lead the SABL in stolen bases last season. The dynamic duo of Frank Monteforte and Jack Manning look to continue their batting dominance as one of the most productive 9-1 duos in the WBC, firing off moonshots left and right. There's a reason this lineup is called Astroball, after all.
The Bears' fielding prowess is nothing to be scoffed at either, as The Greatest Show on Dirt holds the line behind the Bears' pitching corps. The outfield boats two proven fielders manning the corners in Garry O'Hanagan and Frank Monteforte, with the nigh-infinite range of Tommy Vincent slotting in perfectly to the Kalikadrome's 427-foot deep center field. In the infield, often considered the soft underbelly of the Bears, Jacob Monte and Pat Larson man the middle of the diamond, while Gareth Sevriens plays first base. In the hot corner, Frank Malone looks to uphold his reputation as one of South Americanastan's best gloves, building a brick wall between home plate and left field.
