2025 Collegiate National Team Training Camp Roster Announced

The first game of the series will be held on June 29 at Atrium Health Ballpark in Kannapolis at 5:35 p.m. ET. The next three games will be played from June 30-July 2 at USA Baseball’s National Training Complex in Cary, with first pitch of each game set for 6:30 p.m. ET. The series finale will be hosted at Segra Stadium in Fayetteville on July 3 at 6:35 p.m. ET. The 2025 Collegiate National Team will be named on July 4 following the conclusion of Training Camp. That squad will compete in the 45­­th USA vs. Japan Collegiate All-Star Championship Series from July 8-13 at various locations across Japan. The remaining players from the Collegiate National Team Training Camp will make up a Collegiate National Team Prospects squad that will play in a Fourth of July game against the Appalachian League Select Team at Atrium Health Ballpark in Kannapolis at 6:35 p.m. ET.

“The talent across college baseball this year has been nothing short of fantastic,” said Eric Campbell, USA Baseball’s General Manager of Professional and Collegiate National Teams. “We had an incredibly deep pool of players to select from for this year’s Collegiate National Team Training Camp, and we are confident that the fifty-six players will deliver an incredible on-field product for our annual Stars versus Stripes series. We are excited to get things underway this weekend.”

Fourteen USA Baseball alumni appear on this year’s Training Camp roster, including 11 players from last year’s Collegiate National Team. Eric Becker (Virginia), Drew Burress (Georgia Tech), Daniel Cuvet (Miami), Jason DeCaro (North Carolina), Jacob Dudan (NC State), Gabe Gaeckle (Arkansas), AJ Gracia (Virginia), Kyle Johnson (Virginia), Liam Peterson (Florida), Brett Renfrow (Virginia Tech), and Zion Rose (Louisville) all represented the stars and stripes last year. The group is set make their return to Training Camp to once again vie for a spot on Team USA.

For Burress, this will be his third attempt at making a national team as he also played for the 2019 15U National Team and helped the U.S. win gold at the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) U-15 Baseball World Cup Americas Qualifier. Likewise, Cam Kozeal (Arkansas), Noah Franco (TCU), and Nolan Traeger (TCU) will each be looking to represent the U.S. for the second time in their careers. Kozeal was on the 2022 18U National Team that won a gold medal at the WBSC U-18 Baseball World Cup, while Franco and Traeger will reunite as past and current teammates this weekend after both representing the stars and stripes on the 2023 18U National Team and recently finishing up their freshman seasons with the Horned Frogs.

Twenty-four players making their way to Training Camp have received All-America honors by at least one of five major publications over the last few weeks, while six players earned league and/or national awards for their efforts on the diamond in the 2025 season. The group of players who won national awards is highlighted by Evan Dempsey (FGCU), who earned the Jon Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year Award, and Roch Cholowsky (UCLA), who was named the National Player of the Year and an American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) Gold Glove winner.

Overall, 32 schools and 10 conferences are represented on the 2025 Training Camp roster. Arkansas and Virginia lead all schools with four players each on the 56-man roster, while Georgia Tech, Louisville, North Carolina, NC State, and TCU follow with three each. The Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) boasts 22 athletes on the roster to lead all conferences, followed by the Southeastern Conference (SEC) with 12 and the Big 12 Conference with eight.

The 2025 Stars Team at Training Camp and Collegiate National Team will be led by manager Andy Stankiewicz, and he will be joined by Rusty Filter (pitching coach), Omar Johnson (first base coach), Bill Mosiello (third base coach), Carlos Muñoz (bullpen coach), and Don Wakamatsu (bench/hitting coach). Jonathan Hernandez will manage the Stripes Team at Training Camp and the Collegiate National Team Prospects squad, and he will be joined by Butch Chaffin (assistant coach), Michael Choice (first base coach), Dan Hartleb (bench/hitting coach), LaTroy Hawkins (pitching coach), Joe McGowan (bullpen catcher), and Dave Tollett (third base coach).
