CARY, N.C. – Oregon State freshman infielder Nick Madrigal has accepted an invitation to compete for the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team this summer.
Madrigal’s selection to the team continues what has become a proud tradition of Oregon State players competing for the Collegiate National Team. At least one Oregon State player has competed for the team every year since 2011, and Madrigal will be the 11th Beaver all-time.
“It means everything to me,” Madrigal said. “Not everyone gets to wear USA across their chest. It’s definitely something special. Growing up, I saw Team USA on TV and I told myself that if I was able to wear that uniform, I’d be pretty blessed.
