Major League Baseball’s top prospects will be on display this upcoming weekend as part of the league’s new Spring Breakout. Featuring the best prospects from each organization’s farm systems, Spring Breakout will highlight the future stars of the league. Many of those stars–73, to be exact–are USA Baseball alumni.
Before we get to the full list, let’s break down the group of USA Baseball alumni on Spring Breakout rosters by the numbers.
73
In total, 73 players who have previously donned the stars and stripes will participate in this weekend’s Spring Breakout. Fourteen 12U National Team alums are in the group, while 16 former 15U National Team players were chosen to compete. Thirty-three athletes who previously played for either the 18U National Team or the Collegiate National Team are also featured on rosters.

There are 32 players from the 2021 and 2022 Collegiate National Teams set to take part in Spring Breakout, including two-time CNT alums Dylan Crews, Paul Skenes, and Kyle Teel. Additionally, the 2021 18U squad placed nearly half its roster in the Spring Breakout, owning 10 players in the event.
18
While every MLB division features at least six Team USA alums, the NL East leads them all with 18 former U.S. players participating in Spring Breakout. The New York Mets lead all teams with six players, including four from the 2021 Collegiate National Team.
