Two Auburn University athletes have been selected to represent the United States at the World Collegiate Baseball Championship, a premier event that gathers the best college talent from around the globe.
Chase Fralick, a junior from Auburn, posted a .222 batting average with two RBI during the team’s recent training camp, while right‑hander Jackson Sanders turned in a flawless 3.0 innings, surrendering no runs.
Freshman Ethin Bingaman also attended the camp but was not chosen for the final roster, underscoring the depth of competition for spots on the squad.

The camp served as a proving ground, where Fralick’s offensive contributions and Sanders’s pitching poise stood out among a field of prospects.
Championship Outlook
From July 11 to 15, the national team will face off against Chinese Taipei, Japan and Korea in Taichung City, Taiwan, in a tournament that showcases the rising standard of collegiate baseball on the international stage.
For Auburn, the selections reflect a program that continues to develop players capable of competing at the highest levels, building on a season in which Fralick led the team in doubles, home runs, RBI and slugging percentage.
Sanders, who finished the year with a 5‑2 record, a 2.94 ERA and four saves, adds a reliable arm to a staff that has already begun to make its mark in the collegiate ranks.
The upcoming championship promises to be a showcase of talent, and the Auburn contingent will look to add another chapter to the university’s growing baseball legacy.
