USA Baseball has announced its 20-player roster for the 2007 college national team. The national team, coached this year by Long Beach State’s Mike Weathers, has a 20-man roster for the summer heading into its regular-season schedule and two international events–the Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and the World Port Tournament in the Netherlands.
