Yusef Davis, Jr. of Long Beach, California is among those in Florida this week, competing for a spot on the 2019 USA squad. Yusef arrived quickly onto the international stage in 2017, homering in a key game against Canada, in the Pan Ams in the Dominican Republic. The win helped the USA win bronze medals at the competition, and earn a spot in this year’s Pan Ams at Lima, Peru. Yusef got his start in the game, as a city league teammate of USA veteran Kevin Castillo, who will also be at the camp.

In their last international competition, the USA won bronze medals at the Pan Ams in the Dominican Republic. (photo below, by USA Softball’s Katie Willis)
