Giulio Monello and Simone Carnevale replace Alberto Mineo and Claudio Scotti on Team Italy roster at Haarlem Baseball Week
As a precautionary measure to prevent injury, Team Italy captain Alberto Mineo is being replaced by catcher Giulio Monello and Azzurri ace Claudio Scotti is being replaced by pitcher Simone Carnevale at the 31st edition of Haarlem Baseball Week in the Netherlands from July 12-19, 2024
There are two changes to the previously announced list of 24 players representing Team Italy at the 31st edition of the Haarlem Baseball Week from July 12-19, 2024. Unlike what was announced a week ago, the Azzurri roster has changed slightly. Because catcher Alberto Mineo has not fully recovered from injury and pitcher Claudio Scotti needs rest to prevent injury, catcher Giulio Monello and pitcher Simone Carnevale have replaced them on Team Italy.
Catcher Giulio Monello made his debut on the Elite National Team during the 2023 European Championship in the Czech Republic where he made a total of four appearances. Pitcher Simone Carnevale makes his Azzurri debut on the Elite National Team at Haarlem Baseball Week 2024. He pitched twice for Team Italy at the 2022 U18 Baseball World Cup.
