Two important pieces of business remain for USA Baseball’s 18-and-under national team before its Aug. 27 departure for Taiwan to compete in the World Baseball/Softball Confederation World Cup.
First, former major-leaguer Michael Cuddyer, who is managing the club—made up of high school players from across the country selected following a prospects development league that concluded in early July—and USA Baseball’s staff must slash a 44-player training-camp roster down to the final 20. Then that group will play an exhibition game at 10:30 a.m. on Aug. 26 at Concordia College in Irvine, California.
