Ludwick was named a 1997 Freshman All-American by Collegiate Baseball and Baseball America and was a 1998 second-team preseason All-American selection by Baseball America.
He has appeared in 41 games this season at UNLV and is batting .372 with 10 home runs and 46 RBI.
USA Baseball will select 22 players and begin competition in mid-June and play approximately 30 games in preparation for the International Baseball Association's XXXIII World Championship in Italy.
