Scobey invited to Collegiate National Team camp

South Carolina third baseman K.J. Scobey has been invited to the training camp for the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team's training camp. I've been unable to find a complete list of invitees, so there may be other players from state schools.

Scobey started 56 of USC's 57 games in games in 2025, batting .257 with 8 homers and 27 RBI.

It's the 14th time a USC player has been invited to try out of the Collegiate National team. Scobey will join 55 other non-draft-eligible college players for a five-game intrasquad series in North Carolina from June 29-July 3. USA Baseball will announce the final roster after that.

The Collegiate National Team will play in the 45­­th USA vs. Japan Collegiate All-Star Championship Series in Japan July 8-13.
