20 of some of the best school age baseball players in the country jet off to the United States next week to take part in a three-week trip across the country playing games against different colleges. This is a fantastic opportunity for all of these athletes to perform in front of some very important spectators.
14 of the 20 athletes on the roster attended the 2016 MLB Australian Academy Program, and have had some experience playing baseball on a daily basis for an extended period of time. One of the more notable inclusions on the Schoolboys roster is South Australian pitcher Jack O’Loughlin. O’Loughlin, a product of the Port Adelaide Baseball Club recently put pen to paper on a deal with the Detroit Tigers, an MLB team with a rich history of Australian signings.
