USA Baseball has posted its first roster update of the season. It includes seven players who are on Cape League rosters, including San Diego slugger Kris Bryant, NC State freshman ace Carlos Rodon and Ole Miss star Bobby Wahl.
The list:
Kris Bryant – San Diego – Chatham
Austin Cousino – Kentucky – Hyannis
Carlos Rodon – NC State – Harwich
Ryne Stanek – Arkansas – Bourne
Trea Turner – NC State – Y-D
Bobby Wahl – Ole Miss – Cotuit
Trevor Williams – Arizona State – Orleans
It’s nice to see that, so far, no one team is getting hit harder than another. I would really like to see Rodon, though. He was a 16th-round draft pick last year and is lighting up this spring, posting an 8-0 record and 108 strikeouts.
Team USA will continue to update its roster in the next few weeks so we’ll keep an eye on it.
Three more players from Cape League rosters have received invitations to Team USA. OF Michael Lorenzen (Cal State-Fullerton; Brewster), INF/OF Mike Conforto (Oregon State; Brewster) and RHP Jimmie Sherfy (Oregon; Yarmouth-Dennis). Although it is indicated on Brewster’s roster that they last updated the roster on April 20, Lorenzen and Conforto were removed this weekend. Y-D will be missing Sherfy and NC State’s Trea Turner.
