The Milwaukee Brewers are set to take on Team Great Britain at American Family Fields of Phoenix on Tuesday afternoon, in what will be a tune-up for Team GBR as the World Baseball Classic is set to officially begin on Wednesday (Team GBR’s first pool game is on Friday).
The game is one of 15 WBC exhibitions taking place on Tuesday, with 15 more set for Wednesday. You can view the full schedule of exhibitions and the WBC schedule here.
Jacob Misiorowski is slated to make his spring debut in this one, as he’ll get the start. In the lineup, Blake Perkins leads off, followed by Garrett Mitchell and Luis Rengifo. Jake Bauers bats cleanup and starts at first base, followed by Akil Baddoo and David Hamilton. Reese McGuire (at catcher), Jeferson Quero (at DH), and top prospect Jesús Made round out the lineup.
Team GBR is a mixture of minor leaguers, major leaguers, and non-MLB players. The names you’ll likely recognize from the team include Nate Eaton (batting leadoff), Jazz Chisholm (batting second), Harry Ford (batting third), and Trayce Thompson (batting seventh).
First pitch is slated for 2:10 p.m. CT with a radio broadcast available via the Brewers website.
