National Baseball Hall of Famer and Team Italy manager Mike Piazza has selected 38 players for a workout in Godo on Wednesday, June 30, 2021

Following an intensive training exclusively for pitchers and catchers in Collecchio on June 15, 2021, Team Italy manager Mike Piazza has invited 38 prospective Azzurri Senior squad players to report to Godo on Wednesday, June 30 for an extensive workout. Although some invitees are returning after participating in Collecchio and others have been part of the U23 squad, there are some new faces being considered by Italian skipper Mike Piazza and his capable staff.

Team Italy is preparing for the much-anticipated European Baseball Championship in Piemonte, where the diamonds of Torino, Avigliana and Settimo Torinese become the battleground for the Azzurri squad to reclaim the Euro championship throne from September 12-19, 2021 in honor of the late and great Italian baseball coordinator Bill Holmberg.

Team Italy manager Mike Piazza will be assisted in Godo by pitching coach Vince Horsman as well as coaches David Sheldon, Dan Bonanno, Alessandro Maestri and Gianmarco Faraone. In addition, athletic trainer Michele Corbo, physiotherapist Massimo Baldi and delegation team manager Vincenzo Mignola will be on hand to complete the Azzurri staff.
