U.S. Men’s National Team Roster Announced for 2025 WBSC World Cup Finals
OKLAHOMA CITY — USA Softball has announced the U.S. Men’s National Team (MNT) roster set to compete in the 2025 World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) Men’s World Cup Finals. Slated for July 8-13, the 16-player roster will travel to Prince Albert, Canada where they will look to stand atop the podium for the first time since 1988. The Eagles recently led an undefeated campaign at the 2024 WBSC World Cup Group C Stage 1 Event last year in Oklahoma City where they secured participation in the Finals.
“We’re excited for this group leading into what will be an exciting and challenging summer,” said head coach, Ron Hackett. “With that being said, make no mistake — our goals and expectations don’t change, and we intend to compete for a gold medal at the upcoming World Cup Finals. This roster and coaching staff are ready and willing to put in the work needed to achieve that goal.”
