Yamamoto and Ohtani are among seven current Major League Baseball players in Japan's squad for the World Cup-like tournament, which is being held in Japan, the United States and Puerto Rico from March 5-17.
Ohtani, the two-way superstar who helped the Dodgers win a second straight World Series title in November, had already been named in a first raft of squad members announced by manager Hirokazu Ibata last month.
