Team USA manager Mark DeRosa responded to a question about criticism of his management during the World Baseball Classic<\/a> after critics have piled on him in recent days.<\/p>\n

“I have an undying passion for it and an undying belief in every guy on this roster,” DeRosa said in an in-game interview with Fox Sports during the Team USA game vs. Canada.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I don’t think there’s an A or a B. I think they’re all A’s.”<\/p>\n

DeRosa\u2019s comments come amid scrutiny after Team USA\u2019s surprising 8\u20136 loss to Italy<\/a> in pool play, a defeat that sparked widespread discussion about lineup decisions and comments he made before the game about the Americans\u2019 tournament standing.<\/p>\n

Before the game, DeRosa said he believed Team USA had already clinched a spot in the knockout round, which proved incorrect once Italy pulled off an upset. The miscalculation quickly went viral and drew criticism from fans and analysts, some questioning the team\u2019s approach and decision-making heading into the game.<\/p>\n

Despite the backlash, DeRosa has insisted the criticism has created misleading narratives about his handling of the team and his understanding of the tournament format.<\/p>\n

Team USA entered the 2026 World Baseball Classic as one of the tournament favorites, boasting a star-studded lineup headlined by players such as Aaron Judge<\/a> and Kyle Schwarber. It is widely considered one of the most talented American squads ever assembled for the event.<\/p>\n

But the upset loss to Italy exposed<\/a> vulnerabilities and temporarily put the Americans\u2019 quarterfinal hopes in jeopardy. Team USA ultimately advanced out of pool play thanks to other results, though failing to win the group placed them in a more difficult bracket going forward.<\/p>\n

With the knockout rounds underway, Team USA will now look to quiet critics on the field and prove DeRosa\u2019s faith in the roster was justified.<\/p>\n
