A MESSAGE FROM THE

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR/CEO On behalf of the national governing body for baseball in the United States, it is my honor and privilege to welcome you to the 2022 USA Baseball Futures Invitational!

The last two years have been challenging, both in the United States and globally. It feels like getting back to where we are now in 2022 has been a long time coming, because it has; but we are thrilled to be here now and ready to welcome every one of you to the National Training Complex this summer!

USA Baseball is proud of our track record in developing youth players into premier athletes and that begins at events just like this one. Alex Bregman, Bryce Harper, Eric Hosmer, and Clayton Kershaw are just a few of the many, many names that have played in this event, gone on to make a USA Baseball national team, represented their country on the international stage, and later had a successful professional career. We are proud to be an organization that prioritizes youth development and invest in young athlete’s growth.

The Futures Invitational is now in its seventh year, and we are excited for the continued support in the expansion of our youth event offerings to players at this age level. It is paramount to the proliferation of baseball in the United States to continue provide opportunities to our youth to play the game we love. And to put it simply, baseball is fun! It is our honor to offer as many opportunities as possible for kids to love our game.

In addition to the fun we hope you all have during this tournament, the opportunity in front of these athletes cannot be overstated. Not only does the Futures Invitational allow these teams and athletes to compete with the nation’s best young players, it also is giving these future stars the chance to represent the United States in international competition as part of the three-time World Champion 12U National Team. No other event in the country offers the opportunities the Futures Invitational does, and we hope you are all proud to have been invited to this event.

We are committed to bringing first-class competition to the field, so we wish you all good luck as you strive to win a championship, but also look to earn an invitation to the 12U National Team. The experiences the players, coaches, and families will go through during this tournament will create memories and present numerous challenges and opportunities that could remain with you for an entire lifetime. It is an incredible byproduct of being an elite athlete.

For those of you who also make your way over to the National Training Complex, you will notice the facility has a bit of a construction-site look.

We recently broke ground on our new offices and indoor high performance training center as the organization continues to transform and grow, matching our goals to our commitment to baseball players in the United States. We cannot wait to show you the finished product by the end of 2023; @USABaseball however, in the meantime we ask you to pardon the mess. Feel free to learn

The Road to Play for Team USA starts here.

The 2022 11U Futures Invitational will serve as a primary identification event for the 2022 12U National Team this summer. A minimum of six players will be invited from the event to 12U National Team Trials to partake in comprehensive testing, games, and workouts while competing for one of the final 18 roster spots on the 2022 12U National Team.

Let’s get noticed. 23 players from the 2021 12U National Team Trials roster were identified from the 2021 Futures Invitational with 13 athletes making the final cut to wear the red, white, and blue.

2 Going for gold. The 12U National Team returns to international play at the 2022 World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) U-12 Baseball World Cup in Tainan, Taiwan. The three-time gold medalists last won it all at the 2017 WBSC U-12 World Cup.

2022 PREVIEW 12U NATIONAL TEAM, 15U NATIONAL TEAM, 18U NATIONAL TEAM, COLLEGIATE NATIONAL TEAM, WOMEN’S NATIONAL TEAM, ADP, AND NTDP The schedule for Team USA is chock full of competition and opportunity. The 12U, 15U, 18U, Collegiate National Team, and Women’s National Team are all itching to get back to international play. The time has finally come, and a gold medal will be in many of their sights. The path to play for a gold medal incorporates key identification events such as the Futures Invitational and National Team Championships, while honing your craft at the 13U/14U Athlete Development Program (ADP) and the 16U/17U National Team Development Program (NTDP) will also prove crucial to future gold medals for Team USA. USA Baseball’s history is rich with excellence and has showcased a proven ability to provide players with the best development opportunities possible. Whether it’s on or off the field, there is no better experience than with the red, white, and blue.

12U NATIONAL TEAM

The 11U Futures Invitational serves as the primary event to identify talent for the 2022 12U National Team Trials. The elite youth championship events hold the best 11U teams ready to showcase their abilities for the USA Baseball’s task force of scouts.

The 2021 12U National Team played three exhibition games in Flower Mound, Texas, going 3-0 by a combined score of 55-3. Now, USA Baseball will assemble a 12U National Team for the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) U-12 Baseball World Cup in Tainan, Taiwan, from July 29-August 7.

RJ Farrell returns as the manager of the 2022 12U National Team after making his USA Baseball managerial debut with the 2021 12U National Team. In his third season at Orange Lutheran High School as the associate head coach, he brings an abundance of experience working with USA Baseball. Prior to becoming manager, Farrell was an assistant coach for the 12U National Team leading Team USA to gold medals at the 2017 WBSC U-12 Baseball World Cup and the 2018 COPABE U-12 Pan American Championships. He was also on staff for the 11U NTIS, 12U National Open, and the Futures Invitational, as well as serving as a 12U National Team Trials coach in 2016.

Seth Kenny continues as the pitching coach and Troy Gerlach and Tanner Vesely fill out the rest of the staff as assistant coaches.

13U/14U ADP

USA Baseball’s Athlete Development Program (ADP) has expanded from 40 to 80 invitations for the top 13U and 14U players to head to the National Training Complex in Cary, North Carolina, for a highly developed four-day on- and off-field national team-level instruction and education program.

Each day at the ADP will feature advanced on-field skills development with positional and team fundamental drills, and ongoing evaluation by USA Baseball national team coaches. Over the course of the program, athletes will be placed on a Stars or Stripes team and faceoff in intrasquad games to practically implement the instruction provided during training.

The participating athletes in the program will also be evaluated for the opportunity to be invited to the 2022 15U National Team Trials.

16U/17U NTDP

15U NATIONAL TEAM

To earn a spot on the 15U National Team, there is no better place to prove yourself than the National Team Championships. The elite championship-style events held in Arizona and North Carolina gives the task force the best opportunity to lay their eyes on some of the most talented players across the nation fighting for a chance to wear USA across their chest.

The 15U National Team is set to defend its gold at the 2022 WBSC U-15 Baseball World Cup in Hermosillo, Mexico, from August 26-September 4. The United States are the reigning U-15 World Champions after defeating hosts Panama in the title game of the 2018 WBSC U-15 Baseball World Cup. The 15U National Team last participated in international competition at the 2019 WBSC U-15 Baseball World Cup Americas Qualifier, finishing with an 8-1 record and a gold medal victory over Panama.

Drew Briese, head coach at Centre College, will make his national team managerial debut following his stint as the 13U/14U ADP field coordinator in 2021. He’s no stranger to 15U competition as he was an assistant coach on the 2016 15U National Team. Briese also was involved as a coach with the 2015 14U NTDP and as a pitching coach for the 2019 NTDP. Briese is joined by Steve Butler, Rob Shabanksy, and Jeff Sherman to complete his staff. All three coaches return from the 2021 15U National Team formerly led by Jared Halpert.

The National Team Championships is also the site to get identified as one of 80 players by the USA Baseball staff and task force to participate in the 16U/17U National Team Development Program (NTDP). The NTDP is undergoing an expansion along with the ADP with invitations increasing from 40 to 80.

Once at the 16U/17U NTDP, players will participate in individual and team skill development sessions, various off-field educational seminars including guest speakers/ instructors, and intrasquad Red vs. Blue games. USA Baseball will engage members of the professional and collegiate baseball community as well as USA Baseball alumni to serve as instructors and educators throughout the week.

18U NATIONAL TEAM

The 2022 Prospect Development Pipeline (PDP) League will once again serve as the primary identification event for the 18U National Team Trials. The PDP League is an invitation-based development and assessment opportunity for high school players eligible for the following year’s MLB Draft. It provides athletes with an unprecedented amateur experience, including competitive gameplay, player development sessions, educational seminars, and other programming to prepare players for a professional baseball career.

The 18U National Team will compete for its fifth world championship since 2012 at the WBSC U-18 Baseball World Cup in Bradenton and Sarasota, Florida from September 9-18. Most recently, the stars and stripes earned the silver medal at the 2019 WBSC U-18 Baseball World Cup in Gijang, South Korea before the 2021 squad went 5-1-1 in a seven-game friendship series against Canada.

Denny Hocking brings major league experience to his new role as the manager of the 18U National Team.

As a 13-year veteran in the MLB, Hocking transitioned to coaching in the minor leagues before serving as manager at the PDP League and the 18U National Team Trials in 2021.

WOMEN’S NATIONAL TEAM

If a player is looking for an opportunity to represent Team USA as a member of the Women’s National Team, the Women’s National Open is the event to prove yourself. The identification event takes place in St. Paul, Minnesota from July 18-20 providing opportunities to compete in games and workout in individual position sessions. A minimum of 30 players will be selected from the Women’s National Open to make up the Women’s National Team Trials roster with 20 being awarded a spot on the National Team roster.

A five-game Women’s Baseball Friendship Series is set to take place with Baseball Canada Women’s National Team from July 28 to August 1 in Thunder Bay, Ontario.

The series marks the first time both nations have played in international competition since the COPABE Women’s American Championships in 2019. The US were victorious in their last meeting by a score of 21-4 and carried the success into their gold medal win over Venezuela.

COLLEGIATE NATIONAL TEAM

For the first time since 2014, the U.S. will head to Honkbalweek Haarlem to compete from July 8-15 in Haarlem, Netherlands. Team USA brings a history of success to the tournament having competed there five times since 2000 and earning four gold medals in that time. To prepare for Honkbalweek Haarlem, an intrasquad Stars vs. Stripes series will be played throughout North Carolina featuring the premier collegiate players in the country split into two teams. Their stops will include Cary, Durham, and Charlotte, North Carolina from June 30-July 4.

Ole Miss’ Mike Bianco, the 2020 National Coach of the Year, will make his Team USA managerial debut. He returns to the red, white, and blue after serving as the pitching coach for the Collegiate National Team in 2013. He led the U.S. pitching staff to a collective 1.87 ERA, a 20-3 record, and 222 strikeouts during the summer campaign.

12U NATIONAL TEAM ALUMS

WHERE ARE THEY NOW? *STATS AS OF JUNE 9, 2022*

JUSTIN CAMPBELL

Campbell started his journey with USA Baseball as part of the 2013 12U National Team which secured gold at the International Baseball Federation (IBAF) “A” World Cup in Taipei City, Taipei. He has stayed involved with Team USA since then, earning spots on the 2016 15U National Team and 2021 Collegiate National Team.

Campbell has enjoyed an excellent career at Oklahoma State University, where he earned Freshman All-America honors from Collegiate Baseball in 2020 and was one of five finalists for the John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year Award in 2021. Campbell is ranked the 48th best prospect in the 2022 MLB Draft by MLB Pipeline and lead the Big 12 with 141 strikeouts.

RYAN CLIFFORD

Clifford has been a consistent presence on U.S national teams and won golds with both the 2015 12U and 2018 15U National Teams. He was also a member of the 2021 18U National Team where he tied for the team lead in doubles during a friendship series against Canada. Clifford, who attends Pro5 Baseball Academy, is ranked the 54th best prospect in the 2022 MLB Draft by MLB Pipeline and is committed to play for Vanderbilt University.

PETE CROW-ARMSTRONG

Crow-Armstrong was drafted 19th overall in the 2020 MLB Draft by the New York Mets, but before that he was on four national team rosters. He debuted with the 2014 12U National Team and would go on to win a pair of gold medals at the COPABE Pan Am "AA" Championships with the 2017 15U National Team and the 2018 18U National Team. Crow-Armstrong was a big piece for the Chicago Cubs to receive in a trade deadline deal with the Mets in exchange for Javier Baez and has taken off in 2022. As the sixth-ranked prospect in the Cubs’ system according to MLB Pipeline, he has a .972 OPS with a .335 batting average, nine homers and 31 RBI’s.

Pete Crow-Armstrong

BRADY HOUSE

The 2015 12U National Team had many big names, yet House as the 11th overall selection by the Washington Nationals in 2021 is currently the highest drafted of the group. Also playing for the 2018 15U National Team which won gold at the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) Baseball World Cup, House is the second-best

prospect in the Nationals system according to MLB Pipeline after getting off to a hot start to his professional career. Beginning in the Rookie-level Florida Complex League, House hit .322/.394/.576 with four homeruns.

Now with the A affiliate Fredericksburg Nationals, he has continued to hit at a solid clip with a .268 average.

ANTHONY VOLPE

MIKEY ROMERO

A Louisiana State commit, Romero helped the 2016 12U National Team bring home the silver medal at the COPABE Pan Am "AA" Championships and achieved gold with the 2019 15U National Team at the WBSC U-15 Baseball World Cup Americas Qualifier. Romero has been a standout for Orange Lutheran High School leading him to be named the 58th-ranked prospect in the 2022 MLB Draft by MLB Pipeline. His senior season stats demonstrate why he deserves the ranking, as Romero hit .372 with 14 extra-base hits and 26 RBIs.

CODY SCHRIER

The two-time gold medalist is no ordinary freshman at UCLA. Repping the U.S. for the 2015 12U and 2018 15U National Teams and winning a pair of gold medals, Schrier has started his college career as one of the Bruins best hitters. As the starting shortstop in every game of the 2022 season, Schrier leads the team in hits, homers, and total bases. The PAC-12 All-Conference shortstop was a force at the top-of-the-order and earned Freshman AllAmerica honors from Collegiate Baseball.

In 2013, Anthony Volpe was a member of the 12U National Team that won gold at the IBAF “A” World Cup in Taipei City, Taipei. Volpe donned the red, white, and blue twice more with the 15U National Team in 2016 and secured gold with the 18U National Team at the COPABE U-18 Pan-American Championships in 2018. He’d go on to be drafted 30th overall in the 2019 MLB Draft by the New York Yankees. At the conclusion of his first full pro season in 2021, he was named the Hitting Prospect of the Year by MLB Pipeline after slashing .294/.423/.604 with 27 bombs and 33 stolen bases. Volpe is the Yankees’ top prospect in 2022 according to MLB Pipeline and is the starting shortstop for their AA-affiliate Somerset Patriots.

MASYN WINN

A key member of the 2014 12U National Team on the mound and in the outfield, Winn has made a name for himself as the top shortstop prospect in the St. Louis Cardinals’ system. After being drafted 54th overall in the 2020 MLB Draft, Winn flashed his speed on the base paths swiping 32 bags with 29 extra-base hits in his first season of pro-ball between Single-A and High-A. He’s returned to the A+ affiliate, Peoria Chiefs, with an excellent .332/.389/.554 line with seven triples and 16 stolen bases through 47 games.

ARE WE COACHING THE ATHLETICISM OUT OF OUR ATHLETES?

by JIM KOERNER

2022

F UTU RE S I NV I TATI ONA L

Throughout our country baseball practice is taking place nearly every day. You can go to almost any area and find a field where players are being run through a series of defensive and pitching drills, base running and batting practice. Well intentioned coaches from the little league level on up are instructing our young players on the proper ways to play the game. These coaches from various backgrounds are applying methods mostly learned from either playing, watching or reading about baseball. These methods are inducing a positive or negative response in each athlete with each response directly affecting the confidence level at which these athletes perform. How can we ensure that we are building these young athletes into instinctively driven, confident players that can maximize their athleticism? The answer is easy but the implementation will be challenging. Coaches will need to rewire some of their own belief systems, temper some their own importance in the outcome of a game or even how the game is played. They will have to suppress their own impulse to over coach and direct every movement as well as how they potentially react to the result of a certain plays. In some cases we may even have to redefine why we are coaching. Is it for personal gain, where we are looking to pad our winning percentage, or is it truly for the betterment of the athlete? Movement restrictive drill sequencing, restrictive verbal cueing, reactionary coaching habits and the inability to simply let players fail all lead to robotic, tentative and scared athletes.

Imagine a scene where all the neighborhood kids get together to play baseball. They improvise for bases, bats and balls. They separate teams on their own and most importantly there are no adults to interfere. If done consistently, beside the occasional argument, what do you think would happen over time? It is my belief that the kids would begin to make intuitive and instinctual based adjustments on their own. Players would figure out such things as how big a lead they can take, how and when to go first to third on a single, when and when not to take an extra base, how to position against certain hitters, and what pitches to call, among numerous other advantages.

Personal limits would be pushed without fear of repercussion from a pre-programmed coach. Now, if we can incorporate this type of mindset into a structured practice routine a lot can be accomplished that will positively affect the overall development of our players.

Let’s examine what a movement restrictive drill looks like. In its simplest form it’s any drill that puts a limitation on a player’s ability to move a body part. For example,

let’s look at all the hitting, throwing and fielding drills we’ve seen over the years that have our athletes move in compartmentalized progressive steps. Each step cuts the kinetic chain, forces the body to restart, all while losing feel, athleticism and adjustability. The result in a lot of situations is a stiff and robotic athlete. Drills that promote adjustability and free flowing energy transfer are more likely to allow your athlete to gain the “feel” that they are looking for and the ability to organize their body for the desired result. Other examples of movement restrictive drills that are less obvious happen during base running every day. From a very young age kids are taught that the third base coach directs all the traffic on the bases. Kids are more worried about “picking up” their coach than watching the ball and reacting to what they see. In most cases, if a coach has to direct a player to advance a base, or to go first to third on a single, the delay in reaction will cause the runner to be out. Instead of forcing these players to pick up the coach, why don’t we teach them to read a defense by judging not only the depth of the outfield but also their positioning? Let’s teach how the speed of the batted ball will affect how far the runner can advance, as well as defining how the different angles an outfielder can take to a ball will determine whether or not advancement is possible. By doing so we are allowing our athletes to trust what they see, rely on their own instincts and to play the game at a faster level.

Our cueing as coaches also has the potential to be a detriment to how a player performs. It’s imperative that our players fully understand what we as coaches are trying to convey when using certain terms. Among others, phrases like “stay back” or “get on top” can cause a great deal of mechanical failure when misinterpreted.

We also need to understand these cues can be interpreted completely different from one player to the next. That is why it is important to have an individualized understanding of each player’s needs. What works for one may not work for another. Consistency in how we communicate these terms, and in what context, can also help establish an understanding of the feel we are trying to create. Wrongly interpreted cueing can make the most athletic player look lost. Coaches must also avoid using the words always and never. I can still hear coaches telling me to always use two hands in the outfield or never swing at a 3-0 pitch. Over the years I’ve found that the best outfielders I’ve coached primarily caught the ball with one hand. Why? Because it is a less restrictive movement, and ultimately more athletic than when reaching with two hands, again allowing athletes to be athletes. As we’ve seen over the last several Major League Baseball seasons, depending on the situation, the 3-0 pitch might be the best pitch of the at-bat. Instead of coaching our hitters to always take that pitch, let’s coach

them to have a greater understanding of their strengths and weaknesses so they’re prepared to hit every pitch.

Another step towards building a confident and successful athlete is for the coach to avoid putting their players in a box. My interpretation of a box is when a coach has a preconceived view of what something should like and then works towards that desired result.

Not all boxes are bad but every coach must understand the difference between style and technique. Style has no bearing on performance, while technique is something that can and will affect the outcome. How a player stands in the batter’s box, how a pitcher goes through the windup or how an infielder throws may all look a little different and shouldn’t necessarily be coached.

If we’re spending time on coaching someone’s style we again could be hindering the player’s ability to configure his body into an athletic movement. There is an old adage that says don’t fix what’s not broken. To be fair, I will say that there are some circumstances where someone’s style may affect their technique.

In these cases adjustments do need to be made.

We hear coaches at all levels talk frequently about being process driven. We need to hold true to that philosophy. Let’s briefly analyze a scenario when a coach exhibits two different reactions on two similar plays. In the top of the third inning with a 2-0 lead, the runner at first base does a great job reading a dirtball out of the pitcher’s hand. The throw by the catcher is high and the runner is able to slide under the tag. The player is praised appropriately by the coach. In the very next inning, with his team still leading 2-0, a different player also does a nice job reading a dirtball out of the pitcher’s hand.

Only this time the catcher does a great job recovering and makes a perfect throw to the bag. The runner is out.

The coach immediately drops his head and as the player jogs back to the dugout you hear the coach say “you need to be smarter than that.” This scenario consistently plays out throughout amateur baseball. It is this type of mixed messaging that can cause a player or team to lose aggressiveness or confidence in what they are doing. We as coaches need to understand that if it is a part of our

system and we are allowing players to react to what they see, then there are going to be times when things don’t work. We need to avoid responding to outcomes but be more in tune with processes. In the above situation, if the player hesitated and was therefore thrown out now you can communicate where the process broke down. If the process was flawless then encourage your player to stay aggressive and keep trusting what he sees. The bigger issue may come from the coach not having a system at all. A coach that has strong situational and philosophical beliefs allows one to communicate expectations in a clear and concise way.

A strong belief system that is communicated properly doesn’t just help your players with their performance, it also helps the coach with the consistency of their response.

Mistakes happen all over the field. Coaches need to be aware of their body language and how they respond to these mistakes.

Negative reactions or the need to over correct can hinder the athlete’s ability to perform at a high level. Ask yourself these questions. Does a player’s failure on the field illicit a response in us that threatens our own coaching ability? Are we worried about what others will think? If you answer yes you’re letting your ego drive your reactions. It’s not about us, it’s about the reason for the player responding the way he did. I find it important to ask the player why. Instead of immediately telling a player what they should have done, or reprimanding him for the mistake, take a moment to ask “what did you see,” or “why did you make that decision.”

If the player has sound reasoning for the decision, you might be more likely to move on. If the player’s thought process wasn’t correct, now you can coach him in a much more productive manner.

Let’s not lose sight of the fact that baseball is a difficult game to play and becomes much more difficult if our players lack the confidence and freedom they need to be successful. Coaches, understand your role in the development process and how your words, actions and beliefs play a role in how your players develop and perform.

What works for one may not work for another.

Consistency in how we communicate these terms, and in what context, can also help establish an understanding of the feel we are trying to create.

2021 12U NATIONAL TEAM RECAP Despite not taking the field against international opponents, the 12U National Team was still able to compete against teams in other jerseys in 2021. And when they did, Team USA was a powerhouse, going unbeaten in three games against travel programs while outscoring them, 55-3.

The journey to the 12U National Team began at Thomas Brooks Park in Cary, North Carolina. The park was host to two identification events for the 12U National Team: the 11U Futures Invitational and the NTIS Champions Cup. From these two events, the coaching staff along with members of the USA Baseball task force selected 36 players to compete at National Team Trials for 18 spots on the final national team roster.

So, in the beginning of November, 36 of the best 12U players from across the nation commenced in Flower Mound, Texas, for trials. After four days full of comprehensive testing, games, player workouts, and more, the roster was decided and the 2021 12U National Team was formed.

The 18-man roster featured 13 athletes who competed in the 2021 USA Baseball 11U Futures Invitational.

The other five players on the roster participated in the NTIS Champions Cup to earn their spot on Team USA. Ten different states were represented on the roster, as California led the way with five players and Texas following with three athletes on the squad.

Now that the team was decided, manager RJ Farrell and the rest of the coaching staff was locked in on preparing Team USA for its three-game exhibition slate.

The first opponent on the docket for the stars and stripes was ZT Elite, which had won gold medals at both the 10U and 11U Futures Invitational earlier in the summer.

Jackson Maddix got the start on the mound for the U.S. and turned in a scoreless first inning, turning it over to the powerful Team USA offense in the bottom half of the inning. The stars and stripes flexed their muscles immediately, as Aaron Garcia led off the frame with a solo homer to straightaway center field to open the scoring.

Hudson Brown later drove in a run with a two-out single to put the U.S. up by a pair.

ZT Elite responded with a homer of its own to knot the game at two, but Team USA answered with a fourrun second inning before a seven-run third frame to pull away. The second-inning rally started when Derek Vazquez scored on a wild pitch before Jared Grindlinger and Brady Bickham tallied RBI hits to cap the inning.

In the third, Jake Welch plated a pair of runs with a double and Garcia, Julian Martinez, and Brown all drove in runs of their own to give Team USA a commanding ten-run edge. Martinez later homered in the fifth to put the finishing touches on the 14-3 victory. Jackson Fetters delivered 4.2 scoreless innings of relief to earn the win in the opener.

The U.S. then turned its focus to Premier National, who was on the schedule for the second game of the slate.

Easton Brunson was the star for Team USA, cranking three of the team’s seven homers in a 22-0 win.

The red, white, and blue scored multiple runs in each of the first four innings of the game, including a 10run offensive explosion in the third. Brunson deposited

his first homer in a four-run opening frame, hitting it deep over the right field wall to give the U.S. a 4-0 lead.

Grindlinger added a homer of his own in the second inning, giving his squad a six-run advantage.

Jake Welch was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to start the scoring in the third before Angel Gonzalez cracked a two-run single to grow the Team USA lead to 9-0. Garcia then homered for the second time in as many days, a three-run homer to center field, followed by a two-run homer by Martinez to give the stars and stripes a 14-0 lead. Brunson smoked his second homer later in the inning to make it 16-0 in the third.

Julian Rodriguez and Caleb Hudson drove in runs in the fourth and Brunson’s third round-tripper came in the sixth, a three-run blast to extend the lead to 21. Campbell put the finishing touches on the win with a solo shot in the seventh to give Team USA a 22-0 lead. Pono Kong, Chase Cotton, and Campbell combined for 11 punchouts in the shutout.

While the offense was on full display again in the finale against the Texas Scrappers, the pitching was the story in Team USA’s 19-0 win. Grindlinger, Isaac Vidal, Bickham, and Vazquez all turned in dominant performances on the bump, combining to allow just one hit while striking out 14. They got support from the lineup, as the U.S. put up six runs in the first inning. Rodriguez, Jacob Seamon, Welch, and Gonzalez all drove in runs in the opening inning.

Kong and Hudson plated runs in the third inning to make it 8-0 in favor of the U.S. before Gonzalez pulled a two-run blast over the right field wall to make it a 10-run lead for Team USA. The stars and stripes continued to add on in the third, growing the lead to 12. Gonzalez drove in his fifth run of the day in the fourth to grow the lead, and Team USA added a handful more runs to secure the 19-0 win and an unbeaten record.

The 2021 12U National Team produced some solid numbers over the three-game exhibition slate. The squad batted .445 as a team, hitting 11 homers and scoring 55 runs. Brunson and Gonzalez paced the U.S., tying for the team lead with seven RBIs. Brunson’s three-homer game gave him the team lead in the category, while Garcia and Martinez followed shortly behind with two apiece.

On the mound, the U.S. posted a 1.29 ERA and stuck out 33 batters in 21 innings. After allowing three runs in the first three innings in the opening game, the pitching staff turned in 18 shutout frames over the final three games.

Fetters led the staff with six strikeouts, with Cotton and Vidal each posting five punchouts. The team allowed just 11 hits over the three contests.

Farrell and staff will now look to build on a strong 2021 season and hope that success carries over to 2022, where Team USA will compete at the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) U-12 Baseball World Cup in Tainan, Taiwan.

Well…

This one may make some people mad.

Not the message itself necessarily, but moreover, very few people in the game today want to hear it.

That message is about time.

A few weeks ago, the Atlanta Falcons’ Head Coach, Dean Pees, gave an impassioned speech about the growing entitlement among the younger generations of coaches. The speech went viral across social media, as it resonated with so many within the sports communities.

“Go work in a high school,” he started. “Go work at a Division III school where you have to mow the grass and you’ve gotta line the field, and then you will appreciate what you have, when you have it instead of being 25 years old and wondering why you’re not a coordinator in the NFL. Everybody gets on a computer for two years and thinks they ought to be a coach.

“Now it’s ‘how fast can I climb the ladder?’ I didn’t climb it very fast, but I feel good about the way I did it.” Pees didn’t get to the NFL until he was 55 years old. He felt like he paid his dues working as a high school teacher and a college coach, and this time made him a better coach and a better teacher in professional football.

In January, at the American Baseball Coaches Association’s National Convention in Chicago, Mississippi State’s Head Coach, Chris Lemonis- who was named

20 22

FUTURES INVITATIONAL

29

College Baseball’s Coach of the Year after his Bulldogs won the National Title- spoke to roughly 5,000 coaches about what it takes to build a championship program.

While detailing his path in the game that included 12 years at The Citadel, eight at The University of Louisville, and another four at Indiana University, he finished by saying simply, “it takes time.”

Scotty Bowman is a legend in hockey. He is a legend in coaching. With nine Stanley Cups as a head coach with three different teams, plus another five as a part of the Cup-Winning Club’s front office, his name is engraved on the most prestigious championship trophy in all of sports, a whopping 14 times. Bowman is among the greatest sports coaches of all time. Following his career as an athlete, he spent ten years doing various things within the game- including coaching kids, scouting, and working in Canadian Junior Leagues- before reaching the NHL for the first time.

Three different sports. Three different coaches. One clear message: time, and the experience that comes with it, is really important.

Time is the most valuable commodity in the world. You may go through life always having a roof over your head.

You may never go hungry or thirsty. Money may come easy and in big bunches for you. But time… every single one of us on this planet has a finite amount. Every single one of us will run out of it.

We can’t rush time, nor can we slow it down. Time works at time’s pace, not ours.

My coaching career began in 2006, literally two weeks after I had gotten released by the Royals at the end of Spring Training. Energized by a group of players who made up the same Rutgers program of which I was a product, I believed I could really help our team, so I dove into coaching, headfirst. Coming out of a professional playing career in the Minor Leagues, I took the ‘I wish I knew then what I know now’ approach to coaching, as I felt I had learned so much. At the time, I foolishly thought- with no experience as a coach, no time actually spent coaching- that I would turn every player in an AllAmerican, and our team, into a club fit for Omaha.

Hindsight 20-20, I really sucked as a coach for those six years at Rutgers. While I did know baseball well, and there was a ton of knowledge and new ideas that I did bring to our program, I had absolutely no clue how to coach. I had no idea how to work with players. And, I had no sense of how to work with other coaches. Now some 15-plus

years into my coaching career, I realize I was the exact type of coach that, today, I wouldn’t enjoy working with.

All because I didn’t understand how valuable spending time working in the trenches was. I can say now, without question, that time has been my best teacher as a coach.

As Dean Pees talked about, young coaches today want to jump to the front of the line without gaining the experience that will make them that much better in the role they want, and yet, most aren’t willing to put the necessary time in to truly earn that position.

Similarly, many players want the mvagic pill that will turn them from amateur to Big Leaguer overnight.

And, to aid the issue, there are coaches out there who claim to have that magic pill.

The funny thing about those who appear to be overnight sensations, you ask, they take years to develop.

The manner in which you invest your time- those same 24 hours of those same days that everyone has- is a clear indicator of what you are truly willing to work for. If you don’t respect those things and the wise people that come with time- those things that NEED time- then you don’t truly understand the value of time. Contrary to the guy who says he can have you throw 95 MPH in a month or the other who claims you’ll be able hit a ball 500’ in two, anything worthwhile in life- baseball or otherwise- will take time. And, doing it is a genuine investment in the most valuable commodity in the world.

We can’t rush time, nor can we slow it down.

Time works at time’s pace, not ours.

THE PATH TO THE 12U NATIONAL TEAM Four World Championship appearances. Three gold medals.

That’s the standard for the 12U National Team. And it all begins at the 11U Futures Invitational in Cary, North Carolina.

The 11U Futures Invitational is the backbone of the 12U National Team. In 2022, it will serve as the primary identification event – along with recommendations from scouts and coaches from around the amateur baseball community – to help find the best 12-and-under baseball players in the United States.

Over the four-day tournament, teams from all around the nation will compete for Futures Invitational gold at Thomas Brooks Park. They will battle in group play before the top teams emerge into the bracket round, eventually culminating in a title game with the gold medal on the line.

But for some of the players competing at Futures, the possibility of earning another gold medal – this time at the 2022 World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) U-12 Baseball World Cup in Tainan, Taiwan – is real.

While players and teams compete at Thomas Brooks, the watchful eyes of the USA Baseball Task Force will be locked in. The players will have the undivided attention of USA Baseball coaches and scouts, who will meticulously evaluate to find the best fits – both on and off the field – for the 2022 12U National Team.

The task force will select 24 players from the 11U Futures Invitational to continue on the path to the 12U National Team. These 24 players will join 12 previously

identified athletes from last year’s National Team Identification Series (NTIS) Champions Cup to form a 36man National Team Trials roster.

National Team Trials consist of comprehensive Prospect Development Pipeline (PDP) testing, games, and workouts to help the coaching staff find the best 18 players to fill out the Team USA roster. Players are assigned to a Stars or Stripes team, playing intrasquad games to showcase their skills and abilities in live-action situations. This year, Trials will take place at Thomas Brooks Park immediately following the conclusion of the 11U Futures Invitational.

The journey to making the 12U National Team roster ends on the final day of Trials. The coaching staff selects the 18 players who best fit the roster and team needs, and Team USA is formed.

But while the journey to making the team concludes, the path to a gold medal has just begun. After a brief return home, the 18-man 12U National Team roster will travel to Stockton, California, for a training period. After that, Team USA will board a plane and fly to Tainan, Taiwan, in pursuit of the program’s fourth world championship.

The path to the 12U National Team is difficult. From Futures, to Trials, to training, to Taiwan – the journey is intended to find the best players this country has to offer so that Team USA can perform on the international stage.

The journey may end in Taiwan, but it all starts here, at the USA Baseball Futures Invitational.

54

2022

F UTU RE S I NV I TATI ONA L

▫ In an effort for fair play and competitive balance, USA Baseball recommends that each athlete participate in a minimum of eight (8) innings or five (5) at-bats for position players, and/or a minimum of three (innings) or nine (9) batters-faced for pitchers throughout the event.

▪ The USA Baseball Tournament Director will predetermine all home and away team assignments in all pool play games.

The higher seed will serve as the home team throughout all bracket-round and consolation match-ups (E.g., #6 vs. #1; #1 is the home team).

Lineups

▪ A maximum of 10 players are allowed in a lineup.

▪ A tenth hitter, or extra hitter, hereby known as the “EH,” may be utilized by any team. The use of an “EH” is optional. If one team elects to use an “EH,” the opposing team is not required to do so as well. The extra hitter must be indicated in the lineup as the “EH.” The “EH” will be treated as any other starter and cannot be eliminated during the course of the game. The “EH” can exchange positions with other defensive players in the lineup. The starting batting order must be followed in order; the changing of the “starting batting order” once the game begins is strictly prohibited.

Run-Rule

The following run-rule scenarios will be enforced in all games at the Futures Invitational: ▪ If a 10U team is losing by 10 or more runs after having batted in at least four (4) innings, the game will be called due to the run rule.

▪ If an 11U team is losing by 10 or more runs after having batted in at least five (5) innings, the game will be called due to the run rule.

Extra-Innings/Tie-Breakers

▪ All pool-play, consolation, and third-place games at the Futures Invitational shall be six (6 [10U])/seven (7 [11U]) innings or two hours (2:00 [10U])/two hours and 15 minutes (2:15 [11U]). No new inning can begin after time has expired.

▪ If a pool-play, consolation, or third-place game is tied after six (6 [10U])/seven (7 [11U]) innings and time permits, teams shall continue the game using the international tie-breaker rule until a winner is decided or time has expired. If a game that exceeds the time limit ends in a stalemate, the game will be recorded as a tie.

▪ A time limit will not be enforced in quarterfinal (11U only), semifinal, and championship games.

International Tie-Breaker Rules

▪ The international tie-breaker rule dictates that a runner will be placed on first and second base with no outs to begin the inning. The batter must be the player deemed next-up in the batting order following the previous inning and the two players preceding the batter will be placed on first and second base, respectively.

Forfeits

▪ In the event a team must forfeit a game, a 7-0 loss will be assigned to a team’s record.

Pool Protection

▪ Futures Invitational Pool Protection Rule: The tournament director reserves the right to change matchups in the consolation brackets. This rule is in place to prevent teams from playing the same team in both pool play and consolation bracket.

STANDINGS TIE-BREAKERS

If, at the end of pool play (if applicable), two or more teams finish with identical records, the following procedures will be used to break standings ties for bracket-play seeding: 1. Pool play overall record 2. Head-to-head result; provided all tied teams have played each other 3. Fewest runs allowed (overall) 4. Overall run differential 5. Coin flip

EJECTIONS/SUSPENSIONS

▪ Any ejection of a participant (player, coach, or fan) during a game will receive an automatic one-game suspension. The incident will then be reviewed by the USA Baseball Technical Committee, consisting of the Tournament Director, Umpirein-Chief (if available), Site Supervisor, and a member of the USA Baseball Task Force. The Technical Committee will assess the ejection and then determine an additional penalty, if any, for the participant.

▪ Penalties may include suspension for a subsequent game(s), suspension from the tournament, or a team forfeiture resulting in a 7-0 loss.

▪ Any participant who is ejected from a game a second time during the event shall receive an immediate suspension for the remainder of the tournament.

INCLEMENT WEATHER

▪ In the event inclement weaher occurs during the tournament, the bracket-round games will be given priority in rescheduling. USA Baseball will do its best to ensure that all teams participating in consolation games will play in an even number of games; however, cannot guarantee an even number of games for all participating teams.

▪ Games rescheduled due to inclement weather may be played at an off-site facility at the discretion of USA Baseball.

UNIFORMS & SAFETY

▪ Coaches must wear a helmet in order to be on the field. A hard helmet is required; no flap, single flap, and double flap helmets are permitted, while “skullies” and cap inserts are strictly prohibited.

▪ All players must wear molded rubber spikes. Molded, plastic cleats are acceptable, as long as the spikes are molded appropriately, without any sharp ends. Metal spikes are strictly prohibited.

BAT GUIDELINES

All teams are required to adhere to the USA Baseball Bat Guidelines below (Bat Guidelines can be found at USABaseball. com/Bats/Guidelines).

▪ 11U, 12U tournaments bat requirements: ▫ There are no specified weight/length ratio limits for bats in the tournament. ▫ Bats may not exceed 32” in length and barrel diameters may not exceed 2 5/8. ▫ Non-wood and multi-piece wood bats must be USABat certified in order to be used in the tournament. * ▪ 13U tournaments require bats to be any wood or metal BBCOR (-3) bat OR an approved USABat. ▪ 14U and 15U tournaments require bats to be any wood or metal BBCOR (-3) bat.

▪ 16U and 17U tournaments require bats to be any solid (onepiece) wood bat or an NFHS approved BBCOR wood barrel baseball bat.

▪ *USABat certifications are reflected in the Washington State University Sports Science Lab and the NCAA and NFHS BBCOR approved baseball bats list.

PITCHING RULES

In accordance with USA Baseball’s assimilation of Pitch Smart guidelines, the Futures Invitational will use a hard pitch count as the standard for setting pitcher-use limitations for the tournament.

▪ Pitchers may not pitch three consecutive days regardless of their pitch counts in the two previous days (e.g., if a pitcher throws 10 pitches on day one and 15 pitches on day two, they are still ineligible to pitch on day three) ▪ If a pitcher exceeds a pitch count threshold in a single game that requires a mandatory rest day, they are ineligible to pitch in an additional game in the same day regardless of their daily pitch count total.

PENALTY FOR VIOLATION OF PITCHER USE LIMITATION RULES

▪ If a pitcher is found to have exceeded their allowed numbers of pitches during a game, the illegal pitching situation will be rectified immediately and the incoming pitcher will be permitted as many warm up pitches as the umpire deems necessary prior to resuming the game. The Technical Committee will review the infraction and reserves the right to suspend the manager for the next game if the infraction is deemed a purposeful breach of the rules. The Technical Committee will be comprised of the Tournament Director(s), Umpire-in-Chief, Site Supervisor, and a member of the USA Baseball Task Force.

▪ If a pitcher is found to have exceeded their allowed pitches for a game after the game is completed, the manager may be suspended for the next tournament game. The Technical Committee will review the infraction and reserves the right to suspend the manager for the next tournament game plus one additional game if the infraction is deemed a purposeful breach of the rules.

▪ In either case, the pitcher in question will not receive any direct penalty, but will be made to adhere to the prescribed days of rest based on the number of pitches at the time of the infraction. The team in question will not receive any direct penalty (beyond penalization of the manager), but will continue to be required to adhere to the prescribed pitch count rules for the remainder of the event.

TOURNAMENT PITCHER USE LIMITATION RULES

▪ If a pitcher reaches the daily max pitches in a game threshold (75 [10U], 85 [11U-12U], 95 [13U-16U], 105 [17U-18U]) while facing a batter, the pitcher may continue to pitch until any one of the following events occur: 1. That batter reaches base; 2.

That batter is retired; 3. The third out is made to complete the half-inning.

▪ A pitcher’s required rest is based off a hard pitch count of actual pitches thrown and does not reset to the pitch count tallied at the beginning of the last batter faced. If a player has thrown 19 pitches and, after facing the last batter of the

20 22

FUTURES INVITATIONAL

55

inning, has thrown 24, then that pitcher’s pitch count for the day is 24 (not 19) and they are required to take one day of rest.

REPORTING

▪ USA Baseball official scorers will be responsible for the official pitch count at each field.

▪ An aggregate pitch count report for all teams in the tournament will be distributed electronically at the completion of each day’s games to the team contact on record. The pitch count is monitored and kept in the tower, and is the only official pitch count that will be used. Managers or coaches pitch counts are NOT official, but they are welcome to periodically check with the official scorer to ensure their count is correct. The official scorekeeper will communicate the pitch count at the beginning of each inning or as needed.

▪ Should a pitch count be protested, the protesting team must present an official score book or digital score keeping application to the Site Supervisor and Tournament Director(s).

▪ The pitch count kept by the tower can be overturned if both the Site Supervisor and Tournament Director conclude that a mistake was made on behalf of USA Baseball’s scorekeeper.

The new pitch count will be recorded and reflected in the following day’s pitch count report.

SUSPENDED GAMES (PITCHING)

For purposes of applying the pitcher-use limitations in the event a team plays twice on a single day (because a prior game was either postponed or suspended), the following rules apply: ▪ A pitcher’s per-game total pitch maximums (but not mandatory rest) shall be deemed to be “reset” in a resumed game. However, pitchers are still restricted to per-game and daily pitch maximums set forth by the Pitch Smart Guidelines prior to and after suspended and resumed games.

▪ The pitcher of record at the time a game is suspended becomes subject to a mandatory rest day if they exceed a pitch count threshold (20+ [10U-14U], 30+ [15U+]) and will not be eligible to pitch in the resumed game if it takes place during their required rest time, including a resumed game occurring at a later time on the same day.

▪ A pitcher who is required to rest for a day must rest for all games on that day (I.e., resting during the resumption of a postponed or suspended game shall not satisfy a mandatory rest day, even if there is a subsequent game on that same day).

DOUBLEHEADERS

▪ The second game of a scheduled doubleheader will not serve as a rest day for pitchers having thrown in the first game of the day (E.g., a pitcher who has thrown 20 [10U-14U], 30 [15U+] or more pitches in the first game of the day may not pitch in any subsequent game that day and is subject to the appropriate number of rest days based on the total pitches thrown).

▪ A pitcher who has thrown 1-20 [10U-14U], 1-30 [15U+] pitches is eligible to throw in any subsequent game that day; however, they will still be limited to the daily max of 75 [10U], 85 [11U-12U], 95 [13U-16U], 105 [17U-18U] pitches for the day.

▪ Due to the nature of the tournament format, the USA Baseball Operations Staff will provide each coach with an updated pitch count sheet as soon as possible prior to the start of their second game of the day on days where a doubleheader is scheduled.

2022 PITCH SMART GUIDELINES

Many players were limited in how much baseball they could play over the last year due to COVID-19. As players return in 2022, they should make sure to do so safely by following all applicable COVID-19 guidelines and the following return-tosport recommendations: 1. Because many players missed seasons, they should be careful to ramp up slowly to avoid injury; we know players are excited to get out there and compete, but it’s important to gradually increase the intensity and frequency of your playing to avoid injury.

2. Players should ramp up their strength and conditioning program in advance of resumption of throwing.

3. As much as possible, players should aim to lengthen and not shorten their standard pre-competition throwing progression timelines. An example throwing program is shown here (link).

4. Pitchers should account for all types of throws when systematically building up in preparation for game competition. The stress on the throwing arm from any longtoss, flat ground throws, weighted ball exercises, and bullpen pitches should be considered. Weighted ball programs should not be used to accelerate pre-season throwing progression.

5. Players with reduced workloads last year should consider gradually building up their pitch counts, more rest between outings, and a lower overall workload this year.

6. Proper nutrition and sleep go a long way in maximizing baseball performance and reducing injury risk.

7. As always, it is important that players avoid pitching with arm fatigue or injuries to other body regions; being proactive about your health will help keep you healthy for the longterm.

8. It’s beneficial for amateur athletes to take time off from baseball each year and play multiple sports to further athletic development.

9. Many baseball players have showcase opportunities to enhance their recruitment into collegiate and professional baseball. Players should only participate in showcases when they are healthy and have had appropriate time to build up their throwing and strength and conditioning.
