Charlie Condon Earns USA Baseball Training Camp Invitation
June 02, 2023 | Baseball
ATHENS, Ga.-----University of Georgia first baseman/outfielder Charlie Condon has been invited to the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team (CNT) summer training camp.
Condon, a 6-6, 215-pound native of Marietta, Ga., will compete for a spot on the final 26-man USA CNT roster. The camp will feature 56 of the premier non-draft eligible college players. They will play a four-game Stars versus Stripes intrasquad series in Cary, N.C. from June 25-28 at the USA Baseball National Training Complex. The training camp series begins on June 25 at 3 p.m. ET. Game two will be on June 26 at 6 p.m. ET, game three on June 27 at 7 p.m. ET, and game four on June 28 at 6 p.m. ET.
Condon, who has been named a semifinalist for the Golden Spikes Award and Dick Howser Trophy, was named a second team All-American by Collegiate Baseball earlier this week. He was selected as the SEC Freshman of the Year in a vote of the league's coaches. He captured the Triple Crown for the Bulldogs, batting .386 with 25 home runs and 67 RBI. He set the SEC freshman home run record and ranked among the league's offensive leaders throughout the regular season. He was named second team All-SEC and Freshman All-SEC. He started all 56 games with 29 starts at first base, 21 in right field and six in left field. He posted a .992 fielding percentage. During the season, he had a 37-game on base streak, a 24-game hitting streak and registered at least one home run in every SEC series. He is scheduled to play for the Falmouth (Mass.) Commodores in the Cape Cod Summer League with the season opener on June 10.
USA Baseball will select the final roster after the training camp series. The CNT will compete from June 30-July 12 in friendship series against Chinese Taipei and Japan.
The Bulldogs who have toured with the USA Summer Team include pitcher Cris Carpenter (1987), pitcher Dave Fleming (1989), pitcher Brian Powell (1994), catcher Clint Sammons (2002), shortstop Kyle Farmer (2012), pitcher Robert Tyler (2015) and pitcher Cole Wilcox (2019). Pitcher Jaden Woods (2022) participated in last year's USA CNT summer training camp.
The 2023 CNT will be led by Cal Poly's Larry Lee, who will make his USA Baseball managerial debut. It will be his second appearance overall in the red, white, and blue. He was an assistant coach for the 2017 CNT.
