Baseball is back, and so are USA Baseball alumni! Team USA is doing it all in 2026: diving catches, no-hitters, and walk-off base knocks are all happening at the hands of our alumni. Players who have previously donned the stars and stripes are making impacts at every level, from high school to the pros. Follow along as USA Baseball’s alumni report tracks top performances on the diamond and highlight-worthy weekends from coast to coast.

WEEK OF JUNE 22

• Miami Marlins prospect Kemp Alderman (2014 12U) tallied two homers, six hits, and seven RBIs in a series against Triple-A Memphis. Since returning from the injured list in mid-June, the outfielder has an .841 OPS for the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp.
• Mookie Betts (2023 WBC) has been on a tear for the Dodgers over the last five games. The shortstop recorded eight hits, eight RBIs, and three longballs over the stretch as Los Angeles cruised to a 4-1 record.
• Sonny Gray (2009 & 2010 CNT) was brilliant in two starts for the Boston Red Sox. The veteran right-hander allowed only one run in his seven-inning, 11-strikeout performance against Colorado on Tuesday, then notched his 2,000th career strikeout against the Yankees on Sunday night. The Smyrna, Tennessee, native carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning against the Bronx Bombers and lower his season ERA to 2.69.
• Bryce Rainer (2017 12U, 2023 18U) has reached base safely in nine consecutive games for the West Michigan Whitecaps. The 20-year-old has three homers during that stretch and a 1.158 OPS in June.
• San Francisco Giants starter Robbie Ray (2009 18U) threw back-to-back eight-inning shutouts in his two starts against the Athletics. The 34-year-old southpaw allowed only two hits to earn the win on Tuesday night, then allowed only four in his victory on Sunday.
• Anthony Seigler (2017 18U) has been red hot since the Red Sox called him up on June 20. The second baseman had six hits last week in Boston’s sweep of the Yankees, and his 1.222 OPS over the last seven days is the fourth highest mark in the American League.
• Dansby Swanson (2014 CNT) racked up 15 RBIs in 24 hours for the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday and Wednesday. Swanson went 2-for-3 with a homer and four RBIs on Tuesday night, then 5-for-9 with two round trippers and 11 RBIs during Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Mets.
• Ralphy Velazquez (2016 12U, 2017 12U) posted back-to-back multi-hit performances for Triple-A Columbus over the weekend, going 3-for-5 with an RBI on Saturday and 2-for-5 with a solo homer on Sunday. The 21-year-old has a .351 OBP since being promoted last month.
