Luis Severino Set to Start for Dominican Republic in WBC Semifinal

Luis Severino is slated to start for the Dominican Republic in their World Baseball Classic semifinal against Team USA. Severino has transitioned into a pitcher who relies on a six-pitch arsenal and soft contact, recently throwing four innings against the Netherlands with one run allowed and five strikeouts. He faces a challenging American lineup as he looks to lead the undefeated Dominican squad to the tournament championship in Miami.
