USA Baseball Collegiate Camp Sets Japan Roster

Fifty-six of the nation's top non-draft-eligible college baseball players, including standout freshmen and sophomores from Oregon State, Arkansas, and Georgia Tech, have been invited to the 2025 USA Baseball Collegiate National Team Training Camp in North Carolina. Notable athletes include Oregon State pitchers Dax Whitney, who tallied 120 strikeouts as a freshman, and Ethan Kleinschmit; Arkansas players Gabe Gaeckle, Cole Gibler, Ryder Helfrick, and Cam Kozeal; and Georgia Tech's Drew Burress, Alex Hernandez, and Vahn Lackey. The camp will feature the Stars vs. Stripes intrasquad series, with the final roster chosen to represent the U.S. in the 45th Collegiate All-Star Championship Series against Japan from July 8-13. This marks Team USA's first trip to Japan since 2019. Players not making the Japan roster will compete against the Appalachian League Select Team on July 4. The selections reflect strong seasons and highlight the growing influence of Georgia Tech and Oregon State on the national stage.
