How to change vertical alignment on worldmap figure?

I am using the Mapping Toolbox to make a figure. My code looks roughly like this:

load korea
worldmap(map, refvec)
setm(gca,'MapProjection','mercator')

The default "x-axis" / settings for the longitude has a default VerticalAlignment set as "top". I want to change the VerticalAlignment to "baseline". I can do this by hand by editing the plot but I want to do this in a line of code. Can anyone help me?

The following code will move the meridian (longitude) labels to ‘baseline’ position.

load korea 
map_axis = worldmap(map, refvec) 
setm(gca,'FLineWidth',3,'Grid','on','MapProjection','robinson'); 
long_labels = mlabel('on'); 
for i=1:length(long_labels) 
    long_labels(i).VerticalAlignment = 'baseline'; 
end 

mlabel corresponds to the meridian labels.
