Victorians Jayden Kim and Nick Bertucci have been named to the MLB World Select Team ahead of the Arizona Fall Classic in Phoenix.
Kim and Bertucci were all part of the Team Australia side that played in the U18 World Cup earlier this month in Florida. Team Australia concluded their campaign with a 7-2 victory over South Africa to finish ninth.
One of the main purposes of the MLB World Select Team is to showcase members of MLB’s international academies, with players from eleven countries including Australia, Italy, Germany, Netherlands, Czech Republic, France and Brazil to be exposed to college/professional level baseball.
The team will be playing multiple games in Arizona in the leadup to the Arizona Fall Classic.
