Texas Longhorns baseball players Sam Cozart, Anthony Pack Jr., and Dylan Volantis have been invited to participate in the 2026 USA Baseball Collegiate National Team Training Camp this summer, according to a May 19 announcement.
The training camp will bring together 56 top non-draft eligible college players for three days of exhibition games against Appalachian League teams, followed by a five-game Stars vs. Stripes intrasquad series. The final roster for the Collegiate National Team will be announced on July 5 after the camp concludes. This team will then compete in the inaugural World Collegiate Baseball Championship at Taichung City Intercontinental Baseball Stadium in Taiwan from July 11-15.
Cozart, a right-handed pitcher standing at six-foot-six and weighing 260 pounds, has achieved a record of six wins without losses, with a 1.59 earned run average and eight saves over twenty appearances. He has recorded sixty-six strikeouts and only twelve walks across more than forty-five innings pitched. Among Division I pitchers with at least forty-five innings pitched, Cozart ranks first nationally in WHIP (walks plus hits per inning pitched) and third in ERA.
Pack Jr., an outfielder listed at five-foot-ten and one hundred ninety pounds, finished the regular season with a .360 batting average, seven home runs, forty-five runs batted in, and twenty stolen bases—the most by a Texas freshman since Drew Stubbs had twenty-eight steals in 2004. In conference play he led all qualifying hitters with a .400 batting average and .511 on-base percentage.
Volantis is recognized as both an All-SEC First Team honoree and Golden Spikes Award semifinalist. He holds an eight-win to one-loss record with a conference-leading ERA of 2.05 over seventy-four innings pitched while striking out one hundred five batters this season.
The announcement also included previous Texas Longhorns who have participated with the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team dating back to Rick Bradley’s selection in 1974.
