UO release - EUGENE, Ore. – Oregon pitchers Tanner Bradley and Will Sanford and Ducks' catcher Brayden Jaksa have been invited to the 2026 USA Baseball Collegiate National Team Training Camp. The three Ducks will join 53 other players invited to compete for a spot on the final 28-man Collegiate National Team starting on June 24. Jaksa is also eligible to be a part of the "Stripes" team, which is primarily made up of freshmen. The CNT Stars and CNT Stripes teams play an exhibition schedule between June 27-29, before beginning a Stars vs. Stripes series June 30-July 4. The CNT then will take part in the World Collegiate Baseball Championship in Taichung City, Taiwan, from July 11-15 where they play Korea, Chinese Taipei and Japan. Bradley (Cotati, Calif. / Cardinal Newman HS) put together one of the best seasons in the country by a relief pitcher earning All-America honors from the NCBWA, Baseball America and Perfect Game. The sophomore earned first-team All-Big Ten Conference honors after finishing the year 5-1 with a 1.66 ERA in 31 appearances with a program-record 0.82 WHIP. He fanned 84 hitters in just 54.1 innings of work while allowing 12 runs (10 earned) on 25 hits with just 19 walks.

In his 31 appearances, Bradley allowed earned runs in just seven games with five of those limiting opponents to a single run.

He allowed 38 runs (35 earned) on 57 hits in 84.1 innings pitched while striking out a 126 with 46 walks. Sanford held opposing hitters to a .186 batting average while finishing with a 1.22 WHIP. His 126 strikeouts ranked second in the Big Ten Conference while his .186 batting average against ranked third in the conference. His nine wins ranked third in the Big Ten. Sanford set a modern-era Oregon program record for most strikeouts looking (37) in a season, while ranking second in total strikeouts. Sanford was a second-team All-Big Ten Conference pick and earned Most Valuable Player honors at the Eugene Regional Tournament. Jaksa (Freemont, Calif. / Irvington HS) was named to both the NCBWA (catcher) and Perfect Game (1st Base) freshman All-America teams. He finished his freshman campaign slashing .318/.400/.534 with a .934 OPS. He had 17 extra-base hits (10 HR, 1 3B, 6 2B) with 36 RBI, 34 runs scored and seven stolen bases.
