As usual prior to a World Baseball Classic, the participants receive the chance to take on a Major League team during Spring Training. While the teams participating in the Asian first-round pools have to wait until qualifying for the second round, the teams based in Miami and Jalisco will be competing against MLB teams from March 7.
