WINTER OLYMPIAN, SUMMER OLYMPIAN, FLAG BEAREREddy Alvarez became the first athlete from the sport of baseball to carry the U.S. flag in the Opening Ceremony. Alvarez was selected by his fellow U.S. athletes based on his background of having competed–and won a silver medal in short track speedskating–in the Olympic Winter Games Sochi 2014. Alvarez said: “It is an honor and a privilege to be named as one of the flag bearers by my fellow Team USA athletes for the Opening Ceremony. Being a first-generation Cuban-American, my story represents the American Dream. My family has sacrificed so much for me to have the opportunity to wave this flag proudly. I am grateful for my time with U.S. Speedskating and USA Baseball, as well as for all of my teammates, and I am humbled to lead Team USA into the Tokyo Olympic Games.”

THE EDDY ALVAREZ STORYEddy Alvarez grew up in Miami, Florida, a hot bed for speedskating. Check that: a hot bed for baseball. Growing up, Eddy played baseball and was a successful inline skater. Eventually, his parents began renting out ice rinks and a love of speedskating formed. He turned down a baseball scholarship to pursue speedskating and a run at the Winter Olympic Games as a member of Team USA. His pursuit proved fruitful as he made Team USA for the Sochi Olympic Games and won a silver medal in the 5,000 meter relay in short track speedskating. Following the Olympic Games he returned to baseball, signed with the Chicago White Sox as a free agent, and made his Major League Debut with the Miami Marlins in 2020.

FROM HIGH SCHOOL TEAMMATES TO U.S. OLYMPIANSJoe Ryan is a top pitching prospect in the Minnesota Twins organization right now; however, growing up, he was a year-round water polo player in the State of California. While he eventually forged a different path to play professional baseball, he and his Sir Francis Drake High School (San Anselmo, Calif.) water polo teammate Dylan Woodhead both ended up as Team USA Olympians. Woodhead was named to the U.S. Men’s Water Polo Team on July 2.

LIFELONG FRIENDS, FIRST-TIME TEAMMATESEddy Alvarez and Nick Martinez have been friends their entire lives. Growing up in southern Florida, they ended up playing baseball at rival high schools before moving on in their athletic careers – Alvarez to U.S. Speedskating and Martinez to professional baseball. But, now, for the first time, they are teammates. All it took was for Team USA to come calling.

FOLLOWING IN A MENTOR’S FOOTSTEPSMike Scioscia has won three MLB World Series rings. He won one as a manager for the Anaheim Angels in 2002 and then two as a player with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1981 and 1988. His two as a player were under the guidance of Hall of Famer Tommy Lasorda, who is the most recent manager to have led Team USA to an Olympic gold medal in baseball (2000). Lasorda was his mentor and Scioscia will now look to replicate Lasorda’s success for Team USA in this year’s Olympic Games.

WALK-ON, OLYMPIANIn 2012, Patrick Kivlehan decided to try out for the Rutgers Baseball Team after not playing organized baseball in nearly four years. The reason? He was suiting up for the Scarlet Knights football team as a defensive back. In his lone season on the diamond in New Brunswick–and after a lengthy hiatus from

USA BASEBALL PROFESSIONAL TEAM VS. ISRAEL // ALL-TIME RECORD: 0-0DATE EVENT LOCATION RESULT7/30/21 Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games Yokohama, Japan

THE LAST TIME OUT: ISRAELThis will be the first match-up between USA Baseball and Israel in international baseball history.

DID YOU KNOW:Although the flag can be worn on either sleeve (or on either side of the cap), USA Baseball traditionally wears the flag on the right sleeve, and, per military uniform regulation, the star field always faces forward. This gives the effect of the flag flying in the breeze as the athlete moves forward.

baseball–Kivlehan pieced together a season to remember. He won the Big East triple crown after hitting .392/.480/.693 with 14 home runs, 50 RBIs, and 24 stolen bases in 51 games, earning him unanimous Big East Player of the Year honors and a fourth-round selection in the MLB Draft by the Seattle Mariners.

SCIOSCIA AND LOPEZ’S UNIQUE HISTORYIn 2002, a rally monkey Mike Scioscia was leading the Los Angeles Angels to its first World Series title in the organization’s history. In the opposing dugout? A young Jack Lopez. Jack was the San Francisco Giants’ bat boy during the 2002 World Series thanks to his father, Juan, being the team’s bullpen coach.

A COACH’S OLYMPIC RETURNU.S. Olympic Baseball Team Hitting Coach Ernie Young is no stranger to the Olympic Games. In the Sydney 2000 Games, Young and his fellow teammates won Team USA’s second gold medal in Olympic history (its first as an official sport [Seoul 1988; demonstration sport]) under the leadership of Hall of Famer Tommy Lasorda. Young hit .385 with a team-leading eight RBIs in Sydney, including a two-run single against Cuba in the gold medal game.

THE JAPAN EXPERIENCEThree members of the U.S. Olympic Team roster currently play professional baseball in Japan. Tyler Austin plays for the Yokahama DeNA Baybears, Nick Martinez plays for the Fukuoka SoftBank Haws, and Scott McGough plays for the Tokyo Yakult Swallows. Austin will be playing for Team USA in the Olympic Games on his home field at Yokohama Baseball Stadium.

Baz (No. 71), Casas (No. 30), and Woods Richardson (No. 68) are also recognized by MLB Pipeline as three of the top-100 prospects in all of baseball.

REPPIN’ MANY STATESTwelve different states and territories are represented on Team USA’s 24-man roster. The most well-represented states are California and Florida, with four players born in the Golden State and Sunshine State each. Texas is next with three athletes born there, and Alabama, Georgia, and Pennsylvania each have two representatives on the roster. The following states or territories have one player on the U.S. roster: Arizona, Kansas, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, and Puerto Rico.

In total, seven athletes have won a gold medal in international competition. David Robertson is back in red, white, and blue after throwing the final pitch of Team USA’s 2017 World Baseball Classic championship run. Todd Frazier and Tim Federowicz, who both played for the 2006 Collegiate National Team that won a gold medal at the FISU World University Championships in Havana, Cuba, are also on the roster. Nick Allen, Shane Baz, Triston Casas, and Bubba Starling all won a gold medal as members of the 18U National Team. Additionally, 20 of the 24 athletes have international baseball experience as Jack Lopez has represented Team Puerto Rico in previous international tournaments. Gold medalists:

ALL-STARS & STRIPESOf the 14 players with major league experience on the roster, four of them have been named to MLB All-Star teams: Todd Frazier, Edwin Jackson, David Robertson, and Scott Kazmir. Kazmir leads the way with three All-Star selections, followed by Frazier with two all-time selections; Frazier also won the MLB Home Run Derby as part of the All-Star Game festivities in 2015.

EVERYONE ALWAYS REMEMBERS THEIR ROOMMATESJack Lopez and Bubba Starling reunited as members of the U.S. Olympic Baseball Team for the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. In fact, Lopez and Starling were each other’s first roommates after becoming professional baseball players with the Kansas City Royals. Both were drafted in the 2011 MLB First Year Player Draft; Starling as the first-round pick and Lopez the Royals’ 16th rounder.

But they are not the only former roommates on the team. Shane Baz and Joe Ryan have a history, both being prospects in the Tampa Bay Rays farm system. Training in the alternate training site in 2020, Baz and Ryan were roommates throughout the season but went separate ways at the beginning of the 2021 Minor League Season: Baz to AA and Ryan to AAA. Baz, however, earned a call-up to AAA Durham to join Ryan on the diamond… and as roommates once again.

A CEREMONY LIKE NO OTHERMajor General Todd Hunt, the Adjutant General of the State of North Carolina, and the North Carolina National Guard hosted a patch ceremony with the U.S. Olympic Baseball Team during its training at the USA Baseball National Training Complex in Cary, North Carolina. Prior to its opening game, the soldiers removed their American flag patch from their uniforms and presented it to a member of the Team USA delegation as a symbol of good luck, hope for success, and a reminder of who and what they are representing as they travel to Tokyo to compete for our country at the Olympic Games
