CARY, N.C - USA Baseball today announced its roster for the 2022 15U National Team Training Camp, following the conclusion of the 2022 National Team Championships in Arizona and North Carolina. The 64 athletes will compete for one of 20 spots on the final 15U National Team roster from August 14-23 at Tempe Diablo Stadium in Tempe, Arizona.

Selected athletes were invited to Training Camp based on their performance at one of four USA Baseball sanctioned events, including the 14U and 15U National Team Championships. Thirty of this year’s Training Camp selections participated in the event in North Carolina, while 15 competed in Arizona. Thirteen other athletes were chosen from the USA Baseball National Team Identification Series (NTIS) Champions Cup last August, and four earned invitations from last year’s 13U/14U Athlete Development Program (ADP).

The 2022 13U/14U ADP will take place from August 1-4 at the USA Baseball National Training Complex in Cary, North Carolina, where eight athletes will also earn invitations to the 15U National Team Training Camp.

“We are thrilled to announce the first sixty-four athletes for the 15U National Team Training Camp,” said USA Baseball Executive Director and CEO Paul Seiler. “Our coaches and task force members have identified the best ballplayers in the country, and I am confident they will exemplify all the qualities we are looking for in future members of Team USA.”

Highlighting the Training Camp roster are Gavin Fien (Temecula, Calif.), Rashad Hayes (Oakland, Calif.), Jaiden Lo Re (Phoenix, Ariz.), and Jack McKernan (Missouri City, Texas), who were all members of both the 2019 12U National Team and participants at the 2021 13U/14U ADP. In total, the roster features seven USA Baseball national team alumni and 13 players from last year’s 13U/14U ADP.

The roster features players from 24 different states across the country. California leads the way with 17 selections, followed by Texas with 11.

Leading Team USA in 2022 is Manager Drew Briese, who will make his Team USA managerial debut. He began his national team coaching career in 2016 when he served as an assistant coach for the 15U National Team, where he helped lead the stars and stripes to a bronze medal at the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) U-15 Baseball World Cup. Most recently, Briese served as the field coordinator at the 2021 13U/14U Athlete Development Program (ADP) and has held numerous other roles as a pitching coach, assistant coach, and evaluator for Team USA since 2013. He finished his sixth season as the head coach at his alma mater Centre College (Danville, Ky.) in 2022.

Joining Briese on the 15U National Team coaching staff in 2022 will be assistant coaches Steve Butler and Jeff Sherman, as well as pitching coach Rob Shabansky.
