USA Baseball announced the 55-man roster for the 2024 Collegiate National Team Training Camp, including Florida right-hander Liam Peterson.
A two-game Stars vs. Stripes series will determine which players head to the 21st USA vs. Chinese Taipei International Friendship Series and which play in a four-game Summer League Tour — both begin on Saturday, June 29.
The first game of the intrasquad series is Wednesday night at 6 p.m. ET, and the second game is Thursday at the same time. Check back for results.
“The talent across college baseball this year has been nothing short of fantastic,” said USA Baseball general manager Eric Campbell. “We had an incredibly deep pool of players to select from for this year’s Collegiate National Team Training Camp and we are confident in the fifty-five players who will be arriving to Cary tomorrow. We are excited to get our Stars versus Stripes series underway.”
Peterson made 18 appearances, including 16 starts, as a true freshman for the Orange and Blue. He finished the season with a 3-6 record and a 6.43 earned run average over 63 innings.
Peterson showed flashes of greatness early on and then hit the rough patch that’s almost inevitable in year one at the college level. However, Peterson figured things out down the stretch, earning high praise from head coach Kevin O’Sullivan after a few rough starts.
Jac Caglianone and Brandon Neely played for Team USA last year, while Cade Fisher was a camp invite. Wyatt Langford preceded them in 2022.
