Nobody in Europe plays baseball. Shouldn't Japan have wiped the floor with them?

Not true. The Dutch Baseball Federation has 23,000 members. Similar numbers in Italy and Germany.

There were some good players in the game for the Europeans. Cordemans has been around for ages, Maestri is a starter for Orix, van Mil pitched for Rakuten last year.
The Dutch team beat the heck out of Korea last WBC, basically knocking them from a tourney they were expected to go far in. They then beat the Cuban powerhouse twice.
