Jamie Baum Chosen for USA Baseball Women's National Team
Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology student-athlete Jamie Baum has been selected to the 20-player USA Baseball 2022 Women's National Team, released by the national organization this week.
Baum, a standout student-athlete for the women's basketball team and a student manager for the baseball team at Rose-Hulman, makes a first appearance on the USA Baseball National Team this spring. The team will compete with Canada in a five-game friendship series at Baseball Central in Thunder Bay, Ontario from July 28-August 1.
"I'm incredibly proud to be able to represent my country as well as women in baseball. There are so many people who have made this journey possible for me, and I'm only here because of their support," said Baum.
The Women's National Team will train at Target Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on July 25, at Neiman Sports Complex in St. Paul, Minnesota, on July 26, and at Baseball Central in Thunder Bay, Ontario, on July 27, before opening the friendship series with Canada on July 28.
Baum earned a roster spot as a pitcher and utility player after participating in the Women's National Development Program during previous years. The civil engineering major earned 2nd-team all-HCAC and HCAC all-freshman team honors this season after leading the Fightin' Engineers in scoring (12.7 ppg) and rebounding (6.9 rpg) for a team that compiled a 12-9 record.
