Last week, the USA Baseball 12u National Team returned stateside as world champions after defeating Chinese-Taipei in the World Championship Final of the 12u Baseball World Cup.
Winning 10-4, the U.S. took home its fifth gold medal at the U-12 Baseball World Cup and their second in a row after winning it all in 2022.
This time around featured a familiar face from the Central Coast. St. Joseph baseball Head Coach Bryan Madsen had the privilege of being chosen to be an assistant coach with this year’s team getting a front row seat to the action.
Previously, Madsen had helped run camps and different USA Baseball functions but this was his first time on staff for tournament play.
