CARY, N.C. – A total of 177 USA Baseball alumni were named to Major League Baseball Opening Day rosters on Thursday.

The Chicago Cubs have the most USA Baseball alumni on their roster, boasting 11 former Team USA players. The Minnesota Twins (10), Detroit Tigers, New York Yankees, and Philadelphia Phillies (9) follow, while the Athletics, Baltimore Orioles, Los Angeles Angels, Texas Rangers, and Toronto Blue Jays all feature eight USA Baseball alumni.

Overall, every MLB team has at least one alum. Twenty-four Clubs have at least four former U.S. players on their 26-man squads.

Seventy-four former Professional National Team players were named to Opening Day rosters, including 51 past participants of the World Baseball Classic. Sixty-six players went from the Collegiate National Team to Opening Day rosters, in addition to 43 18U National Team alumni. Seventeen previous 15U National Team players and five 12U alumni also earned roster spots.

Additionally, 10 alumni earned Opening Day nods on the mound: Andrew Abbott (Cincinnati Reds), Matthew Boyd (Chicago Cubs), Cade Cavalli (Washington Nationals), Kyle Freeland (Colorado Rockies), Kevin Gausman (Toronto Blue Jays), Matthew Liberatore (St. Louis Cardinals), Joe Ryan (Minnesota Twins), Paul Skenes (Pittsburgh Pirates), Tarik Skubal (Detroit Tigers), and Logan Webb (San Francisco Giants).

A trio of USA Baseball alumni got their first call to the big leagues for Opening Day. JJ Wetherholt (St. Louis Cardinals) made his MLB debut, picking up his first career hit with a home run in his first at-bat. Kevin McGonigle (Detroit Tigers) and Justin Crawford (Philadelphia Phillies) also made their big-league debuts on Thursday, as Crawford and McGonigle each picked up a multi-hit game in their debuts, with McGonigle recording four hits and driving in two runs.

Eight Team USA alumni will serve as managers in 2025: Aaron Boone (New York Yankees), Terry Francona (Cincinnati Reds), AJ Hinch (Detroit Tigers), Mark Kotsay (Athletics), Dave Roberts (Los Angeles Dodgers), Skip Schumaker (Texas Rangers), Kurt Suzuki (Los Angeles Angels), and Dan Wilson (Seattle Mariners).

In addition, four past winners of the Golden Spikes Award were named to Opening Day rosters, including 2019 winner Adley Rutschman (Baltimore Orioles).
