The first game of the World Baseball Classic isn't the most glamorous. It'll pit Chinese Taipei against Australia.
But there is MLB experience on the field to start the WBC, and one of those guys is Stuart Fairchild.
Fairchild, who is with the Cleveland Guardians this spring, is a journeyman outfielder with solid speed.
He's also not a player who, on paper, you'd expect to be playing for Chinese Taipei.

Taipei, Feb. 27 (CNA) Outfielder Stuart Fairchild joined Taiwan's national baseball team at the Taipei Dome on Friday to begin preparing for the World Baseball Classic (WBC), and delivered some hard-hit balls in batting practice despite potential jet lag.
Fairchild, whose mother is Taiwanese, is on Taiwan's 30-man roster for the WBC, scheduled for March 5-17.
He arrived in Taiwan on Thursday and will leave with the rest of the team on Saturday for Japan, where the first round of the tournament will be played.
Despite a 15-hour flight the day before, he told reporters before practice Friday that he felt "pretty good" and hit several hard fly balls to the outfield during batting practice on pitches thrown by retired Taiwanese MLB pitcher Chen Wei-yin (陳偉殷).
