As opposed to the last few years, Team USA is announcing its trials roster on a rolling basis, adding a few names here and there. As the college season settles into the midway point, stars are emerging and the roster is slowly filling up.
Sixteen players are on the list so far, 13 of whom are also on Cape League rosters. UConn stars Matt Barnes and George Springer, who are both on the Wareham roster, are the latest additions.
Matt Barnes – UConn – Wareham
Sonny Gray – Vanderbilt – Cotuit
Danny Hultzen – Virginia – Hyannis
Matt Jensen – Cal Poly – Y-D
Mikie Mahtook – LSU – Harwich
Brad Miller – Clemson – Cotuit
Austin Nola – LSU – Harwich
Matty Ott – LSU – Harwich
Tyler Pill – Cal State Fullerton – Harwich
Nick Ramirez – Cal State Fullerton – Orleans
Anthony Rendon – Rice – Bourne
George Springer – UConn – Wareham
Kyle Winkler – TCU – Falmouth
Barnes and Springer would be big losses for Wareham. Thanks to the LSU contingent, Harwich continues to look like the team that could be the hardest hit.
USA added Taylor Dugas’ name today. Another hit to Harwich. A little know fact is that odds are they’ve lost Randy McCurry, the Oklahoma State closer. McCurry, blew out his arm, while taking warm up pitches in his initial appearance of the 2010 season. Another tough break
Dugas is a big hit. He had the potential to be the best leadoff hitter in the league.
I didn’t know that about McCurry.
