Mexico vs. Japan Game Highlights | 2023 World Baseball Classic 

This is some of the best and most competitive baseball I’ve ever seen and I’ve been watching baseball religiously for almost 40 years.

Let’s go Japan ! Whole Czech supporting you 🇨🇿🇯🇵 you are the real gentlemans of this game. Respect!

メキシコはマジで強すぎて絶望感エグかった… 準々決勝までの相手も手強かったけど準決勝と決勝の相手は明らかに別格だった

間違いなくこれがWBC2023の中で最高の試合だった メキシコのプレーは震えるほど怖くて、力強くて、カッコよかった 本当にありがとう、最高のライバル🇲🇽❤🇯🇵

Never seen Ohtani being so emotional after the double. Something was about to happen. Just when Murakami hit the game-winning double, I got goosebumps, knowing that the dream match-up Team USA vs. Samurai Japan IS GOING TO BE REALIZED!!

Soy Mexicano, pero esto fue un juegazo y justa victoria para Japón que ha tenido un muy buen torneo.

Team Mexico was great! I was watching the game with my Mexican wife here in Japan. She was so sad when Team Mexico lost the game but she also congratulated me right after the game. Mexico and Japan are very good friends. I respect Team Mexico and the country of Mexico. Amo mucho a Mexico!

Another year has passed. This was the game that baseball won the world over.

"Japan advances, but the world of baseball won tonight.” -Mexico manager Benji Gil, palabras tan reales y aunque mi México perdió dió buena batalla a Japón así que mis respetos a ambos equipos por tremendo partido

Yoshida is something special man. So glad he'll be playing for the Sox in a few months, he's been incredible.

こんなに野球の魅力が詰まった試合はなかなかない もっと野球が世界に広まるきっかけになって欲しいな

Orgullosa de ser Mexicana y orgullosa de nuestro equipo. Felicidades a Japón. Viva México 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

This is a real baseball game. The pinch runner at 9th inning did an excellent base running play.

日本はなんとか勝てたがメキシコが勝ってもおかしくなかった。こんなに白熱した試合を見ることができて幸せだった。両チームに万歳🇲🇽🇯🇵

アメリカとの決勝の大谷vsトラウトも痺れる戦いで感動したけど、個人的にはメキシコとの準決勝が見てて最高の試合だった。 こんな凄いゲームをしてくれてありがとうメキシコ！！

One of the most intense and epic game in the history of baseball.

What a game! Both teams gave it their all. So much emotion, what more could you ask for.

As a Taiwanese, I would like to congratulate our Japanese friends for entering the final. And Mexico also played well, it's a epic game.

Soy mexicana y que VIVA MÉXICO que juegazo cardíaco estuvo contra Japón que buenos jugadores de los dos equipos esto es historia

This Mexico vs Japan game is one of the most exciting baseball game I've ever seen! Along with the final USA vs Japan game. Thank you all for giving your fans an incredible experience. Love you guys!!

That was a great game!!! The bottom of the 9th of this game was one of the best inning in the history of baseball!!! Congrats to Japan!

Orgulloso de México 🇲🇽 Felicidades a Japón 🇯🇵 Que juegazo!

メキシコが強くて、めっちゃ血圧が上下した試合でした！ 次のWBCも楽しみ🇲🇽⚾🇯🇵

I won’t lie, this game made me a little emotional. The result was heartbreaking but this was an incredible baseball game! If Mexico was going to go out, I want them to go out fighting! 🇲🇽 Mexico had an incredible WBC run and made me proud to be a Mexican! 🇲🇽 Congratulations Japan! You deserve it 🇯🇵 Games like these are what make the WBC special and I don’t understand how anyone could possibly dislike this event! Baseball won today! One more game to go and after that, we’ll have to wait 3 more years for moments like these… Can’t wait for USA vs Japan!!

What a great game. Honestly, this WBC has been some of the best baseball I've ever seen.

This was the first game of baseball I watched fully. How lucky am I to experience this game as my first.

準決勝メキシコ🇲🇽対日本🇯🇵戦WBC終わった後も何回見ても涙が止まらない。村上宗隆選手🇯🇵ありがとう😭

Soy japonés, pero los jugadores mexicanos jugaron tan bien que me sorprendí e incluso me desesperé muchas veces. Fue un partido realmente bueno. Muchas gracias, pueblo mexicano!!!

This game is probably the best baseball game I've ever seen. I don't remember a game where I screamed so hard that my throat was crushed. This match will be a story that will be told for decades to come. It was a great match. Congratulations to Representation from Japan

山本由伸があんなに簡単に連打されるなんてNPBじゃ中々見れないから驚いた。 やっぱメジャーリーガーはすげぇや！って逆に興奮した。

That has to be the single most exciting game I’ve ever watched. Amazing defense, great pitching matched with loaded offense, and lots of emotion from both sides. Can’t wait for Japan vs USA

Hands down, one of the best baseball games I've ever watched, period. Congrats to Japan but also congrats to Mexico for making it this far. 2 powerhouses in the final.

🇯🇵 One of the greatest games in the history of baseball 🇲🇽

From a French baseball fan, congratulations Japan for qualifying for the final, and to Mexico for going so far. Both teams showed such quality. That player ending the game never has to buy a beer at home ever again.

México, con sus ligas y sus jugadores, frente a un país de béisbol como Japón. Honrados en perder con los mejores. El béisbol mexicano crece

Soooooooo excited to be able to see such an electric baseball game. No one could expect how it was going to be until the very end of the game. Respect to both of the teams, Mexico and Japan! Thank you so much, Mexico! Thank you so much, Japan!

無駄な時間が全く存在しない素晴らしいゲームだった🇯🇵🇲🇽

What a close game it was. Kudos for both Japan and Mexico 🇯🇵🇲🇽

This was the best baseball game I’ve ever watched, so happy to be born early enough to have watched this game with such amazing players!!

Arozarena's home run catch, Urias' home run, Yoshida's genius batting, Otani's spirit, and Murakami's dramatic winning shot. Finally, thank you to the Japanese and Mexican players for a great match.

One of the craziest games I’ve ever seen. All the foos should be proud of 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽, from a 🇯🇵 fan. They were terribly underrated. Tomorrow’s gonna be epic.

I really saw how Ohtani is not only a leader on the field but in the dugout too. Even when they were down 3-0 he was willing his team to win, I respect that.

10:26 SHUTO's smile 👈😁

Japan and Mexico is rekindling love for the pure game of baseball.

I come back to this at least one a month just to remember how much fun it was to watch this live. I’m missing it so much can’t wait for the next WBC. QUE VIVA MEXICO CABRONES❤️🇲🇽🇲🇽 Regresó mínimo una vez al mes para acordarme que perron estaba esta partida. Fue divertido verlo en vivo y neta que lo extraño. Ya ando listo para el próximo WBC. y cómo siempre QUE VIVA MÉXICO CABRONES🇲🇽🇲🇽❤️🗣️🫶🏽

Sasaki roki every single fastballs are over 100 mph OMG 🙀 jaw dropping

Randy Arozarena fue una pesadilla para nosotros los japoneses y casi destruyó las oportunidades de Japón en la posición del jardín izquierdo. Gran equipo. Gracias 🇲🇽

我是台灣粉絲，大谷翔平你真的太棒了，我己經重覆看好幾次，比賽真的太精彩了。日本恭喜，明天冠軍戰，我會繼續替你們加油。 也謝謝墨西哥，你們今天真的打了一場精彩比賽。

野球の面白さの全てが詰まってる

Un juego increíble el pueblo Méxicano 🇲🇽 saluda al pueblo japonés 🇯🇵

Thank you Mexico for a great game. The team is strong and gentlemanly, the fans are passionate. The most exciting game I've ever seen.

Thank you Team Japan and Team Mexico brought a great game to baseball fans around the world. All players did their best and deserved respects.

本当に熱い試合だった どちらも大きな怪我なく全力でぶつかり合えて良かった！！ また次のWBCで会いましょう

Me da mucho gusto ver comentarios alentadores y con buena vibra, hay que saber perder y esta vez le tocó a Nuestros hermanos Japoneses ganar que con justa razón ganaron, pero la verdad este juegazo se lo pudo haber llevado cualquiera de los dos equipos. Gracias por el magnífico desempeño de nuestros jugadores la verdad se noto que entregaron todo en cada uno de los juegos, hicieron un magnífico trabajo Felicidades!!! Viva Mexico y felicidades Japón 🇯🇵 por el triunfo

Go mexico 🇲🇽 but damn japan you are such a beast !!!! Baseball won that night, such great players on both sides

That’s gotta be the greatest game in wbc history

Japan is a baseball powerhouse, Mexico did a great job reaching semi-finals.

リアルタイムで見たスポーツの試合で最も興奮した試合

Rouki sasaka is incredible

Congratulations Japan🇯🇵 from Mexico 🇲🇽🇲🇽

打的難分難解，最後半局才反轉戰局，真的是一場精彩比賽！ 兩隊都表現的很優秀，同時也恭喜日本晉級 來自台灣..

Oh my gosh when I look back this WBC 2023, I have to say this is one of the most epic game series ever!!!! Time has created a hero: Shohei Othani!!!! He and Team Japan make baseball great again!!!! Arigado, thank you!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I'm still re-watching this game's highlights.

Easily one of the greatest games in the world baseball classic history, along with USA v. VEN, PUR v. DOM in 2013, and KOR v. JPN in 2009

今までで試合で一番痺れた。 両国に感動をありがとう。🇲🇽🇯🇵

日本では敵なしの佐々木、山本にはいい経験だっただろうね。 この2人から5点取るメキシコは強すぎた

Felicitaciones Japón. Como mexicano, los felicitamos a todos uds

Mad respect to Mexico. I enjoy watching them. Good luck, Japan.

Soy japonés🇯🇵El equipo mexicano también tenía muchos jugadores muy buenos, y hubo escenas que nos abrumaron. Me encantan los tacos y la cerveza Corona 🇲🇽 Quiero comer en una mesa con seguidores mexicanos algún día. 🇲🇽🤝🇯🇵 Viva México❤

Dominicano pero despues de eliminado le puje a Mexico. Tremendo Mexico!!! Y Japon Ufffff que calidad de beisbol! Tremendo clasico, para mi el mejor hasta ahora 🇲🇽🇯🇵🇩🇴

respect Mexico！ メキシコの選手も、素晴らしい！ びっくりしました。

Outstanding defense, mind-blowing home runs. This is a video game-like scenario! So dramatic! One of the best in WBC history! What a game!!

As a neutral, just one of the best games of baseball I've watched - fantastic atmosphere, great talents on either side and a game that really, really matters.

メキシコも 相変わら強いなぁ2023年ワールドベースボールは 最高に面白かったです元気もらいました

WBC is a real World Series

The intensity of these quarter and semi final games has produced some of the best baseball I’ve seen in a long, long time. Maybe ever. I’m glad I tuned in for this one!

i really love team Japan, they are very humble and look innocents..😊😊😊❤❤❤

I’ve been rewatching this game so much❤❤ 9:20 Genda’s catch was amazing and was so critical at that timing and Arozarena is now famous in Japan as “THE left guy” as he was soooo good!!!

Love how passionate players like Ohtani are for WBC. These emotions show how special it is to play for their country. Amazing game by both the teams 💯

This is why we love international matches. It brings out the kind of passion that is on a different level from most postseason games. It's a Game 7 every single day.

We may never see a match as great as this one. It's been a long time since I truly enjoyed baseball.

RESPECT JAPAN FROM MEXICO. AMAZING GAME YESTERDAY.

Fantastic and Amazing ! I'm happy to see Japan's victory, but I would also like to applaud Mexico's passion and spirit for the game. This game is the best one I've ever watched !

WOW great game.. I could not pick sides on this one. Mexico and Japan are both very good teams. Thanks for the dramatic 9th guys. ⚾⚾⚾ 💗💗💗

That pinch runner behind Otani scoring the running run was sooooo fast!

Man I love baseball..! What a performance by both teams. Congratulations Japan...

Really great game thank you mexico🇯🇵♥️🇲🇽 From Japan

WAOOOOOOOO! QUE JUEGO, SOY DOMINICANO, PARA MI ESTE HA SIDO UNO DE LOS MEJORES JUEGO DEL CLASICO, FELICIDADES A JAPON SOY DOMINICANO

One of the greatest games of baseball I’ve ever seen! Sadly my Mexico didn’t come out w the win but this game was awesome!

This game is the most beautiful one in baseball history. Thank you both teams for showing us such a wonderful game.

🇹🇼台灣恭喜日本🇯🇵，重複看日本逆轉的最後一球，雞皮疙瘩掉滿地

Japanese baseball has been known for "small ball" but this WBC showed that Japanese baseball now added "power" to their game. USA vs Japan game should be EPIC!!

Its like watching an anime movie. The competitive feels and never mess up with the passion by overconfident act and lost focus or you would be end up defeat.

baseball needed this. the world needed this. this type of ball and MLB playoffs is what makes it fun

What a game ! 😎 日本隊，展現了身為運動家 該有的韌性、不服輸、永不放棄的精神！ 因而贏下了這場艱難的四強戰 ✊ 恭喜墨西哥隊，打出了高水準的表現 也恭喜日本隊，上演電影劇情般的逆轉獲勝 這是一場充滿張力、精彩絕倫的歷史性大賽 🎞️ 祝福墨西哥隊 🇲🇽 下一屆WBC能夠再讓世人見識到你們出色的實力！ 也期待日本武士隊 🇯🇵 能代表亞洲棒球，在明日冠軍戰打出活躍的表現！ Greetings from Taiwan! ⚾

As a baseball fan from TAIWAN I would like to say : Congratulations to Japan

何回でもみれる。何回もみてる

Best game in the WBC

Como dominicano, al ver el juego pequeño de Japón, el movimiento de bases, el impulso de carreras en situaciones incómodas y la paciencia de colocar jugadores en base, me hace confirmar la idea de que el manager escogido por el equipo dominicano en este WBC, definitivamente no cumplió las expectativas de una Copa Mundial. Mexico y Japón demostraron cómo una selección nacional repleta de profesionales y MLB, debe jugar el juego: de la manera correcta y con pasión. Gambare, Nippon.

What an amazing game of baseball. As a Red Sox fan, it was fun seeing Yoshida hit a clutch game-tying blast and then Verdugo giving Mexico the lead with an RBI double. What a win for Team Japan! Excited for the championship!
