CARY, N.C. – USA Baseball today named the roster for Phase 1 of 18U National Team Training Camp, which will be held July 18-22 at the USA Baseball National Training Complex in Cary, North Carolina. The 88-player roster will compete for a spot at Phase 2 of Training Camp, which will consist of 40 players.
The final 18U National Team roster will feature 20 players and compete in the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) U-18 Baseball World Cup in Okinawa, Japan, from September 5-14.
“With Training Camp kicking off on Friday, we are very excited about the collection of talent coming to Cary,” said Brett Curll, USA Baseball’s 18U National Team Director. “The eighty-eight players who will compete at Training Camp are the top 18-and-under athletes in the country and we look forward to welcoming them to Cary on our journey to a world championship.”
Thirteen Team USA alumni will return to the National Training Complex looking to be named to another national team. Grady Emerson and Brady Murrietta helped Team USA win a gold medal at last summer’s WBSC U-18 Baseball World Cup Americas Qualifier and will vie for a spot on the team in 2025. Including Emerson and Murrietta, 13 total alumni of the 15U National Team will compete at Training Camp, including five players from the world championship-winning 2022 squad: Carson Bolemon, Andrew Costello, Emerson, Murrietta, and James Tronstein.
Additionally, nine players from the 2023 15U National Team are on this year’s 18U Training Camp roster: Will Adams, Wilson Andersen, Blake Bowen, Trey Ebel, Emerson, Brady Harris, Jorvorskie Lane Jr., Taytum Reeves, and Tronstein. 2024 15U National Team alum Rocco Maniscalco also appears on the Training Camp roster.
Thirty-three athletes invited to Training Camp have previously participated in USA Baseball’s national team development programming. Twelve players were members of the 13U/14U Athlete Development Program (ADP), while 26 have participated in the 16U/17U National Team Development Program (NTDP). Seven of those players have experience at multiple USA Baseball development programs: Andersen, Bowen, Dylan Minnatee, Murrietta, Kevin Roberts Jr., Rookie Shepard, and Tronstein.
In total, 24 different states are represented on the 2025 18U National Team Training Camp roster. California leads all states with 18 representatives, while Florida follows with 13 and Texas has 11. Fourteen different states have multiple players on the roster. Additionally, 73 players on the 88-man roster have committed to play collegiately at Power Four schools.
The 2025 18U National Team will be managed by eight-time Team USA coach Rick Eckstein. He will be joined on staff by his brother, 2006 World Series MVP David Eckstein along with two-time MLB All-Star Brad Penny and longtime high school coach Steve Stone.
