In 2010, USA Baseball will invite up to 38 college players to the 2010 USA Baseball Collegiate National Team Trials. The player pool will primarily be comprised of non draft-eligible college players. Under certain circumstances, draft eligible players and players under control with one of the 30 Major League Baseball clubs may be considered for selection to the trials.

A selection committee will be formed to select players for the trials. The 2010 USA Baseball Collegiate National Team manager and three coaches along with a former athlete from the National Team programs will form the committee. The director of the Collegiate National Team program will assist the committee with statistical information, selection notification and will serve as the committee's moderator. Contact Eric Campbell, General Manager, USA Baseball National Teams, with any questions regarding the 2010 USA Baseball Collegiate National Team Trials selection process.

The selection committee will first meet in December 2009 and will continue to meet throughout the college baseball season, with a final meeting on or around May 15, 2010. The selection committee will continue to follow the college season through the end of the NCAA Division I College World Series. Because of possible unforeseen changes to the trials roster, players could be invited to the trials up to the start of and through the trials period.

Players from the 2009 USA Baseball Collegiate National Team, players from the 2009 USA Baseball Collegiate National Team Trials and players with extraordinary results in the 2009 collegiate wood bat summer leagues may begin to receive conditional invitations to the trials as early as December 2009.

Players can be nominated to USA Baseball at any time by any individual. USA Baseball will work closely with college baseball coaching staffs and college baseball sports information directors to identify players who should be considered for the trials. The working watch list for trials selection will be a common collaboration with the selection committee, USA Baseball program directors, the professional scouting community and the college baseball coaching community.

The 2010 USA Baseball Collegiate National Team Trials is scheduled for July 5-11 in Cary, N.C. The final 22-man 2010 USA Baseball Collegiate National Team will be selected on Sunday, July 11. The team will embark on a tour which includes a domestic series with Korea and the FISU World University Championship in Tokyo.
