FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas catcher Grant Koch has made the 31-man roster for the USA Collegiate National Team's first international series against Chinese Taipei, which will be played June 27-July 1 in Cary, N.C.
Koch, who will be a junior next season, is one of two catchers on the Team USA roster, along with Cal Poly's Nick Meyer. Team USA will play 15 games against teams from China, Cuba and Japan over the next three weeks in North Carolina, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Hampshire.
The team will be trimmed to 24 players next week, but it's unlikely a catcher position will be cut.
