Wow Factor Athletics is proud to announce that 12 players have been selected to attend USA Baseball’s 2026 18U National Team Training Camp Phase One, the most of any organization in the country. The camp features 88 of the nation’s top high school players, all competing for the opportunity to represent Team USA on the international stage. 

This milestone reinforces what has become the foundation of #TheBrand—developing elite athletes who compete at the highest level while preparing them for college baseball, professional baseball, and national team opportunities.

Wow Factor’s 12 Selections

• Axton Brewer – RHP
• Colin Doyle – RHP
• Cooper Goff – OF
• Max Hemenway – IF
• Connor Salerno – LHP
• Grant Sperandio – RHP
• Blake Lundy – C
• Liam Radke – RHP
• Jake Turner – OF/LHP
• Brogan Witcher – C/RHP
• Sebastian Wilson – OF
• Tyler Ransom – LHP

Each of these athletes has earned this opportunity through years of hard work, dedication, and a commitment to excellence on and off the field.

Having 12 players selected is more than a statistic—it reflects the culture, coaching, and player development system that continues to separate Wow Factor Athletics from programs across the country.

Our mission has always been to provide players with the highest level of competition, professional instruction, national exposure, and meaningful opportunities. Whether it’s competing in premier events, earning college scholarships, hearing their names called in the MLB Draft, or receiving invitations from USA Baseball, our goal remains the same:

Help every player reach their highest potential.

The Path Continues

Selection to Phase One is just the beginning. Throughout training camp, players will compete against the best talent in the country while being evaluated by USA Baseball staff for advancement through the national team selection process. 

We couldn’t be more proud of these 12 young men for representing their families, communities, teammates, and the Wow Factor organization.

Congratulations to each player on this incredible accomplishment.

The Brand continues to lead the way.
