JJ Wetherholt Invited to Team USA Baseball Training Camp

The best hitter in the nation is starting to gain some national recognition.

Morgantown, West Virginia is home to the best hitter in all of college baseball, JJ Wetherholt. 

Wetherholt has had a phenomenal season to this point and because of his rapid rise, he has been invited to participate at USA Baseball's training camp this summer. USA Baseball will invite 50 players to play in a Stars vs Stripes five-game intrasquad series to help determine a 26-man roster for international play in the college-level age group.

The players invited to training camp are considered to be the best players in college baseball who are not yet eligible for the MLB Draft.
