DURHAM, N.C. – Oklahoma State’s Justin Campbell will compete this summer for the 2021 USA Baseball Collegiate National Team.

Campbell is coming off an All-American season for the Cowboys as the second-year freshman starred as a two-way player.

On the mound, Campbell made 14 appearances, 13 as a starter, and went 7-2 with a 2.57 ERA and 102 strikeouts in 84 innings of work. He recorded double digits in strikeouts five times.

Campbell also appeared in 30 games as a designated hitter or pinch hitter and posted a .269 batting average to go along with a home run, five doubles and 10 RBIs.
