Casey Borba, a standout infielder for the Texas Longhorns, has been selected to attend the 2026 USA Baseball Collegiate National Team Training Camp, a prestigious gateway that could land him a place on the national roster for the upcoming World Collegiate Baseball Championship in Taiwan.
During his junior campaign, Borba posted a .266 batting average across 61 games while setting career highs with 18 home runs, 57 runs batted in and 59 hits. His consistent improvement over three seasons — 125 total hits and 62 extra‑base hits in 146 games — has drawn attention from coaches and analysts alike.
The Longhorns may have fallen short of a national title, but Borba emerged as one of the team’s most potent bats, ranking among the program’s recent standouts who have represented Team USA. His eight stolen bases also underscore a blend of speed and power that could translate well to the international stage.
Path to the World Championship
The national team roster will be finalized on July 5, following the conclusion of the training camp. If selected, Borba would join a distinguished group of Longhorn alumni who have donned the Team USA uniform, continuing a tradition of Texas talent making an impact on the collegiate world stage. The championship itself runs from July 11 to July 15 in Taiwan, offering Borba a chance to showcase his skills on an international platform.
