LSU outfielder Dylan Crews and first baseman Tre Morgan have been named to the 26-man US Collegiate National Team Roster, as announced by USA Baseball on Tuesday.

Team USA will be in the Netherlands from July 8-15 to compete in the Haarlem Baseball Week tournament at Pim Mulier Stadium. Typically held every other year since 1972, this will be the first tournament since 2018, as the 2020 contest was canceled due to the pandemic.

LSU is one of only five schools with two players on the team, along with Florida State, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt, and Wake Forest. The team’s manager is Mike Bianco, who just led the rebels to the College World Series title. Former LSU utility man Drew Bianco will serve as the team’s bullpen coach.
