>>Major League Baseball announced its participating teams in the second annual MLB4 Tournament, a showcase event that will kick off the 2020 college baseball season. The Huskies will be joined by reigning College World Series Champion Vanderbilt, College World Series finalist Michigan and perennial NCAA Tournament contender Cal Poly.
The second annual MLB4 is scheduled for Friday, February 14th to Sunday, February 16th at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick in Scottsdale, Ariz., the shared, award-winning Spring Training home of the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies. Teams will play three games during the tournament. Additional schedule and broadcast details on MLB Network will be announced at a later date.
"MLB is thrilled to welcome back Vanderbilt, as well as our new participating teams in Michigan, UConn and Cal Poly SLO to the MLB4 Tournament in February," said Tony Reagins, Executive Vice President of Baseball & Softball Development, Major League Baseball. "We could not have launched this event any better given the caliber of baseball programs so far. We are most excited for the young people who will be able to see some phenomenal baseball and aspire to play at this level one day. We thank each of these programs, , the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Colorado Rockies, and Salt River Fields at Talking Stick for what will be another outstanding MLB4."
"We are thrilled to be invited to the MLB4 tournament to open our 2020 season. In order to be the best, you've got to beat the best," said head coach Jim Penders. "We are certainly going to have a great challenge in February in Arizona and we look forward to competing at the spring training home of two of our Major Leaguers in Nick Ahmed of the D-backs and Scott Oberg of the Rockies."<<

That's some way to open the season, in probably the highest profile college baseball tournament in the regular season. Playing with some fast company with the College World Series finalists. It's quite an honor to be included in this.
