Consisting of professional players not on their organization’s 40 men roster, Team USA has announced the 28 men roster for the upcoming WBSC Premier 12 tournament that is one of the qualifier for countries to make the small 6-nation tournament in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, when baseball (along with softball) will make a return for the first time since 2008. For Cal fans, there is a very familiar name in that roster (who is also used in the cover photo of the tweet).
Former Cal Baseball 1st baseman Andrew Vaughn will once again represent the USA in International competition.
