The 2024 roster features 55 primarily non-draft-eligible players from across college baseball. Peterson is the 22nd unique Gator to receive an invitation to CNT Training Camp and the 17th to attend since 2008. Jac Caglianone<https://floridagators.com/sports/baseball/roster/jac-caglianone/16365> and Brandon Neely<https://floridagators.com/sports/baseball/roster/brandon-neely/16373> both suited up for the CNT one year ago while Cade Fisher<https://floridagators.com/sports/baseball/roster/cade-fisher/16369> earned an invitation to camp.

“The talent across college baseball this year has been nothing short of fantastic,” said Eric Campbell, USA Baseball’s General Manager of Professional and Collegiate National Teams. “We had an incredibly deep pool of players to select from for this year’s Collegiate National Team Training Camp and we are confident in the fifty-five players who will be arriving to Cary tomorrow. We are excited to get our Stars versus Stripes series underway.”

The Collegiate National Team Training Camp begins on June 25, with game one of the Stars vs. Stripes series following on June 26 at the USA Baseball National Training Complex in Cary, North Carolina. The second game of the series will be on June 27 before the 55 players are split into two rosters: one that will compete in the 21st USA vs. Chinese Taipei International Friendship Series and another that will play in a four-game Summer League Tour against select teams from the Appalachian League and Coastal Plain League. The summer will then conclude with a matchup between the two U.S. rosters on July 4 at Segra Stadium in Fayetteville, N.C.

Overall, 37 schools and nine conferences are represented on the 2024 Training Camp roster. The Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) boasts 10 athletes on the roster to lead all conferences, followed by the Southeastern Conference (SEC), which has eight.

As a true freshman in 2024, Peterson made 18 appearances including 16 starts and finished with a 3-6 record and 6.43 ERA across 63 innings. The Palm Harbor, Fla. native held opposing hitters to a .257 batting average and fanned 77 batters against 44 walks.
