Miami Hurricanes freshman closer Carson Palmquist was named to the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team, UM announced on Thursday afternoon.
“It means a lot to me and my family to be representing our country,” Palmquist said in a statement. “Watching baseball as a little kid, I always dreamed of playing for Team USA. That’s always been a dream, and now that I finally get to do it I just hope that I can do well and make good out of it.”
Palmquist is the 27th Hurricane to join the national team. His selection gives Miami a player on consecutive rosters as right-handed pitcher Chris McMahon led the 2019 squad in strikeouts.
