Olympic gold medalist and 12-year MLB veteran Doug Mientkiewicz joins the 18U National Team Training Camp as a team manager. A two-time USA Baseball alum, he played for the 1994 Collegiate National Team before winning gold at the 2000 Olympics where he hit a game-winning home run against South Korea in the semifinals. Mientkiewicz is one of just five players to win both an Olympic gold and a World Series championship, which he accomplished as a member of the 2004 Boston Red Sox.  Most recently, Mientkiewicz was the manager of the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens from 2018-19. He has coached at 18U National Team Training Camp in several different capacities since 2022.
