Kansas State baseball signee Wade Hinkle will represent the United States in the 2010 Honkbal Tournament in Haarlem, Netherlands, later this month as a member of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) All-Star Team. Hinkle, an infielder from Chochise College in Arizona, was one of 24 players nationally selected to play for Team USA in the 25th anniversary of the Honkbal Tournament, which is contested every other year. Team USA will be defending its 2008 title beginning July 9 at Pim Mulier Stadium.

Kansas State outfielder Nick Martini was one of 32 players nationally to be invited to the 2010 Collegiate National Team Trials, to be held July 5-11 at the National Training Complex in Cary, N.C. The lone invitee from the Big 12, Martini is vying for a spot on the 22-man roster that will compete both nationally and abroad in July and August. He also is looking to become the first Wildcat to play for Team USA since Craig Wilson in 1988.
