Veteran coach Mike Scioscia will once again lead the U.S. national baseball team.

The U.S. Baseball Association announced on its official website on the 26th (Korea Standard Time) that it will appoint Socia as the head coach of the national baseball team.

Socia will lead the U.S. national team at this year’s WBSC Premier 12.

Earlier, Socia coached the U.S. national team at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, leading the team to a silver medal.

At that time, the U.S. passed the Olympic qualifying round with four wins and no losses, and won the silver medal after Japan with four wins and two losses in the Olympic finals.

“It is a tremendous honor and pride to be able to wear the uniform of the U.S. national team again. I will make every effort to win this Premier 12 championship,” Socia said through the association.

Socia is a veteran who has coached for 19 seasons in the Major League Baseball alone.

He recorded 1,650 wins and 1428 losses in the Los Angeles Angels alone. His 1650 wins are the 20th place in the history of Major League managers.토토사이트 모음

In 2002, he led the Angels to the only World Series championship. In addition, he contributed to two World Series titles as a player and manager when he was a Dodgers pitcher, and won the title as a manager, becoming the 17th player and manager in the history of Major League Baseball to win the title.

The U.S. was in Group A along with Mexico, the Netherlands, Panama, Puerto Rico and Venezuela at the upcoming Premier 12 in November. If the U.S. finishes the second place in the Group A preliminary round in Tefic, Mexico, it can advance to the Super Round in Tokyo, Japan. The medal match will take place on November 24 local time.

The U.S. participated in the 2015 and 2019 Premier 12, winning silver medals in 2015, and ranking fourth in 2019. This time, it is its first time to win the title.
