MIAMI (May 28, 2019) – FIU baseball's Logan Allen made history on Tuesday by becoming the first Panther to be selected to the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team training camp roster.
 
Allen, who was named to the All-CUSA First Team in 2019, built on his Freshman All-American campaign in 2018 by leading all of C-USA with 120 Ks in 84 innings pitched for a 12.86 Ks-per-9 innings ratio to place top 15 in the nation in that category. His pitching prowess was on display when the Deltona, Florida, native went 32.2 innings without surrendering an earned run to start league play.
 
The lefty went 4-6 on the mound with a 3.11 ERA and held opposing batters to a .231 average while winning three C-USA Pitcher of the Week honors. Allen's three weekly honors as a pitcher were tied for the most in the league this past season. 
 
The USA Baseball Collegiate National Team will participate in series of four intrasquad exhibition games and a contest against the Coastal Plain League Select before announcing a 26-man roster prior to the eighth USA vs. Cuba International Friendship Series that will take place July 2-6 in Cary, Charlotte, Durham and Hickory, North Carolina. Team USA's 26-man roster will then travel to Taiwan for the 19th USA vs. Chinese Taipei International Friendship Series after which USA Baseball will announce a final 24-man roster to compete in the 43rd USA vs. Japan Collegiate All-Star Series from July 16-21 in Japan.
