Two New England natives will enter the USA Baseball development pipeline in the days and weeks to come.
USA Baseball announced its rosters for the National Team Development Programs for the 16U/17U and the 13U/14U age divisions. One New England prospect earned invitations to each roster.
The National Team Development Program offers the nation’s top athletes an opportunity to connect with USA Baseball coaches, task force, and national team staff to better prepare for a future national team experience. Participants will take part in skill development sessions, off-field educational seminars, and a series of intrasquad games to assist in the development of the athletes as both a player and a person.
Here's a look at the two New England players selected.
