LOUISVILLE, Ky. – University of Louisville freshman standout Zion Rose has received an invitation to the 2024 USA Baseball Collegiate National Team Training Camp next month in Cary, N.C.
Rose will be the 19th Louisville player to compete with the Collegiate National Team, most recently with Kayden Campbell earning an invite to the 2023 trials.
The freshman helped anchor the Louisville offense this spring, leading the team with a .380 batting average and .455 on-base percentage. Rose tallied 63 hits, nine doubles, five triples and five home runs while adding 10 stolen bases.
Rose was an All-ACC Freshman Team selection and ranked second in the ACC with a .396 average in conference play.
The USA Baseball Collegiate National Team Training Camp will feature 56 of the premier non-draft-eligible college players for a two-game Stars vs. Stripes intrasquad series in North Carolina on June 26 and 27. USA Baseball will name the final Collegiate National Team–inclusive of an International Friendship Series roster and a Summer League Tour roster–following Training Camp on June 29.
Both Training Camp games will be played at the USA Baseball National Training Complex in Cary, North Carolina, on June 26 and 27. First pitch of both games will be at 6:35 p.m. ET. The International Friendship Series roster will then take on Chinese Taipei in a five-game series, while the Summer League Tour roster will take on select teams from the Appalachian League and the Coastal Plain League in a four-game slate. The schedule will culminate with a Fourth of July matchup between the two U.S. Collegiate National Team rosters on July 4 in Fayetteville, N.C.
