Ichiro Suzuki told the Kyodo News Service on Sunday that he plans on playing for Team Japan in the World Baseball Classic next spring.

"I will try to win the WBC in earnest again," Ichiro told Kyodo.

Three years ago, when Japan won the inaugural WBC, Ichiro started the year in Japan and not in Peoria, Ariz., with the Mariners. With Japan advancing to the finals, the right fielder didn't join the Mariners until the last two weeks of March.
