STAT OF THE WEEK - World Baseball Classic Tiebreakers
Although it did not end up mattering for Team USA, here are the World Baseball Classic tiebreakers for teams with the same record in pool play (via MLB):
The team that won the games between the teams tied shall be given the higher position. If three or more teams are tied and one of those teams won its games against all other teams it is tied with, then it will be placed in the higher spot. Similarly, if one of those tied teams lost its games against all other teams it is tied with, then it will be placed in the lowest spot.
The tied teams shall be ranked in the standings according to the lowest quotient of fewest runs allowed divided by the number of defensive outs recorded in the games in that round between the teams tied.
The tied teams shall be ranked in the standings according to the lowest quotient of fewest earned runs allowed divided by the number of defensive outs recorded in the games in that round between the teams tied.
The tied teams shall be ranked in the standings according to the highest batting average in games in that round between the teams tied.
Standings shall be determined by the drawing of lots, conducted by WBCI.
