CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Vinnie Pestano and Chris Perez, the Indians' 1-2 bullpen punch, have committed to pitching for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic.
Team USA begins WBC play March 8 against Mexico.
Pestano and Perez both Tweeted the news Saturday evening. Tweeted Pestano: "Just got the second best phone call of my career. I'm going to be wearing the Stars and Stripes in the WBC. #trulyhonored #childhooddream."
Tweeted Perez: "I am happy to say that I will be pitching for Team USA in the upcoming 2013 WBC. #Honored #Humbled #Ready."
Perez converted 39 of 43 save chances last season. Pestano, who finished second in the American League with 36 holds, was his primary set-up man. Despite losing 94 games last year, the Indians went 24-12 in one-run games thanks largely to the work of front-line relievers Joe Smith, Pestano and Perez.
The provisional roster will be announced Thursday. Former Yankees manager Joe Torre will manage Team USA.
