team usa takes 11 more

Team USA announced its second round of invites for the national team trials, and of the 14 players announced, 11 are on Cape League rosters.

Tommy Medica – C – Santa Clara – So. – Harwich
Ryan Berry – RHP – Rice – So. – Bourne
Dustin Ackley – OF/1B – North Carolina – So. – Harwich
Ryan Jackson – SS – Miami – So. – Hyannis
Ryan Ortiz – C – Oregon State – So. – Yarmouth-Dennis
Josh Phegley – C – Indiana – So. – Wareham
Kyle Seager – 2B – North Carolina – So. – Chatham
Kendal Volz – RHP – Baylor – So. – Wareham
Derek Dietrich – SS – Georgia Tech – Fr. – Wareham
Drew Pomeranz – LHP – Ole Miss – Fr. – Bourne
Kevin Rhoderick – RHP – Oregon St. – Fr. – Yarmouth-Dennis

This round hits Wareham pretty hard and also takes a big bite out of Bourne’s pitching staff. Ortiz and Phegley were in line to be the top two catchers on the Cape, while Dietrich looked poised to be one of the top freshmen.

Six more players will be invited to the trials for a total of 32. Only 22 will make the team, so some of these players will end up on the Cape.
