Tigers Host MLB International Academy Team Monday

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The University of Memphis baseball team will host an MLB International Academy team for a fall scrimmage at FedExPark on Monday, Oct. 10 at 2:30 p.m.

The international roster has been hand selected by MLB International Staff after the players took part in the MLB European Elite Camp, the premier showcasing event of the year on the continent.

This is the first year in which a full global team has travelled to play games in the United States. The current roster has 12 different countries represented.

The goal for the Elite Camps is to get these players the opportunity to further their baseball careers, whether that be in college or professional baseball.
