The University of Texas announced that left‑hander Luke Harrison and utility player Anthony Pack Jr. have been selected for the 2026 USA Baseball Collegiate National Team, earning the honor of representing the Longhorns on the international stage.
Harrison, who finished the season with a team‑best ten strikeouts while allowing no runs over 4 1/3 innings, brings a polished pitching arsenal that helped Texas close out several tight contests. His efficiency and command made him a natural choice for the national roster.
Pack Jr. contributed heavily at the plate, leading the team in triples, runs batted in and total bases while sharing the home‑run lead and topping the squad in stolen bases. His all‑around offensive production underscored his value as a dynamic catalyst in the lineup.
A Milestone for the Longhorn Program
This selection marks the ninth occasion in which two Texas teammates have earned spots on the same Collegiate National Team in a single year, highlighting the program’s consistent pipeline of talent capable of competing globally.
The World Collegiate Baseball Championship will take place in Taichung City, Taiwan, from July 11 through July 15, where the Longhorn duo will face off against collegiate all‑stars from across the globe. The event serves as a showcase for emerging talent and reinforces the United States’ commitment to developing elite amateur players.
Both Harrison and Pack Jr. will join a roster that includes athletes from across the country, with the team scheduled to travel to Taiwan for a series of exhibition games and the championship tournament. Their participation reflects the growing influence of Texas baseball on the national stage.
