FAQ: About the 2023 World Baseball Classic
Who won the 2017 World Baseball Classic?
The United States won the most recent World Baseball Classic in 2017, defeating Puerto Rico in the championship game. The U.S. had never won the WBC before their victory six years ago. Japan won the first two WBC events in 2006 and 2009, and the Dominican Republic captured victory in 2013.
Is the World Baseball Classic every year?
No, the World Baseball Classic is not a yearly event. Although there was a three-year break between the first two events (2006 and 2009), the WBC soon took on a four-year gap similar to the Olympics. The last two World Baseball Classics were held in 2013 and 2017.

I connected to the VPN but my internet speed is slow
If your internet speed is slow or your streaming seems to lag, there are a few possible reasons:

-Your connection type (wired connections are more reliable than wireless connections)
-Suboptimal interconnectivity between the VPN and your ISP
-Slow internet connection speed at your location
-Your device type and processing power
Try each of the following steps to troubleshoot:
-Download the latest version of ExpressVPN
-Connect to a different VPN server location
-Change your VPN protocol
