Thompson-International Performance of the Year Winner DURHAM, N.C. ‐‐ USA Baseball announced the winning pitcher from its gold medal game, Keegan Thompson, as the International Performance of the Year Award winner. Keegan Thompson authored one of the greatest performances in USA Baseball history in helping the 16U National Team take home a gold medal for the sixth time in a row last summer. On the mound, he earned the win for Team USA, throwing a complete game, nine‐inning shutout, allowing only four hits, and striking out 12. Thompson not only starred on the mound for the U.S., but he led the team at the plate as well, going 4‐for‐5 with two RBIs and a run scored. The International Performance of the Year Award was founded in 2010.
