After productive training sessions in Riccione, Firenze and Godo, Team Italy U18 manager Francesco Aluffi embarks on his fourth workout this month in Colorno for a select group of 26 baseball players set to participate in an intensive three-day camp alongside Azzurri manager Alberto D'Auria's U23 squad from May 31-June 2, 2021. With just over one month before the start of the U18 European Baseball Championship in Macerata and Montegranaro (July 5-11, 2021), the time has come to narrow down the roster for the upcoming international competition.
Assisting Team Italy U18 manager Francesco Aluffi with the decision making in Colorno will be bench coach John Cortese, hitting coach Stefano Cappuccini, pitching coach Massimiliano Masin, and infield coach Davide Sartini. Athletic trainer Fabrizio Goracci and delegation manager Aldo Peronaci will also be on hand to lend their support.
