Premise: Krieger will play for Team Israel in the World Baseball Classic, MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reports. Krieger was the Tribe's fourth-round pick in 2015 and will make his debut on the world stage in March. The middle infielder from Clemson hit .299/.377/.417 with 21 steals (he was caught 15 times, too) last season. Krieger's still a few years away from being on the MLB radar, but his performance in the WBC is worth watching for those in dynasty leagues.
Hypothesis: Baseball is Israel's favorite sport.
