Hess, Watson and Duplantis to represent LSU with Team USA this summer

First the trio of Antoine Duplantis, Zack Hess and Zach Watson decided to pass up the MLB and return to LSU for another year.

Now, the three will be playing for Team USA this summer.

LSU coach Paul Mainieri is the head coach of the USA Collegiate National Team this year and announced the additions Wednesday (June 13).

"Certainly, I'm very pleased that Antoine, Zack and Zach will be with Team USA this summer," Mainieri said. "They are great ball players and first-class young men that will represent our country with dignity. It's an opportunity of a lifetime for them, and they will benefit tremendously from the experience.
