Chris Rembert named to Team USA Collegiate National Team
Following an absolutely fantastic freshman campaign on the Plains, Auburn infielder Chris Rembert earned a coveted spot on the Team USA Collegiate National Team this week. The Pensacola, Florida native was one of 26 players named to the roster last Friday. Only seven freshman made the team.
Other than the entire body of work athletes displayed throughout the 2025 college baseball season, Team USA evaluators chose the final roster based on the performance of each player throughout a six-day training camp involving 56 participants. The Auburn freshman, who is now just the 12th player in program history to be named to the Team USA Collegiate National Team, raked throughout his time at camp.
In five games, the 6-foot, 202-pound middle infielder showed off the sneaky power that led to 34 extra base hits in 209 at bats during his freshman season at Auburn. Rembert collected 6 hits in 15 plate appearances. One of those hits was a 444-foot leadoff home run, showing off the surprising pop off the freshman's bat.
Rembert also stole a pair of bases and came around to score four times in five games. The "stat sheet stuffing" came as no surprise to those familiar with Rembert's game. An All-SEC Second Team and Freshman All-American selection, the sensational first-year Tiger slashed .344 in his first season on the Plains while finding his way on base nearly half of the time he appeared at the dish.
Now a member of Team USA, Rembert will join his 25 teammates in Japan when his squad takes part in the 45th USA vs. Japan Collegiate All-Star Series from July 8-13. He is the only Auburn Tiger on the roster, and one of three freshman from the SEC to represent his country.
