Cary, N.C. – Florida Atlantic sophomore pitcher Trey Beard has been invited to USA Baseball’s Collegiate National Team Training Camp. The team will feature 56 of the premier non-draft eligible players for a five-game ‘Stars vs. Stripes’ intrasquad series in North Carolina from June 29-July 3. USA Baseball will name the final Collegiate National Team following training camp on July 3.
The first game will be held at Atrium Health Ballpark in Kannapolis, N.C., at 5:35 p.m. ET on June 29. The next three games, June 30-July 2, will be played at USA Baseball’s National Training Complex in Cary, N.C., at 6:30 p.m. ET. The series finale on July 3 will be hosted at Segra Stadium in Fayetteville, N.C., at 6:35 p.m. ET.
The Collegiate National Team will play in the 45th USA vs. Japan Collegiate All-Star Championship Series in various locations across Japan on July 8-13. The remaining players from the Collegiate National Team Training Camp will play in a Fourth of July game against the Appalachian League Select Team at Atrium Health Ballpark in Kannapolis at 6:35 p.m. ET.
Beard established himself as one of the best pitchers in the country in his sophomore campaign, finishing with a 7-1 record, a 3.14 ERA, and 118 strikeouts. His strikeout total ranked seventh in Division I prior to the start of NCAA Regionals. A First Team All-AAC selection, he became the first FAU pitcher since Austin Gomber in 2013 to eclipse 100 strikeouts in a season.
