Issaquah resident and Eastside Catholic seventh-grader Arthur Schoenstadt was one of 28 players chosen recently by USA Baseball for its inaugural U12 baseball team, which will compete in the IBAF Baseball World Cup in Taiwan in July.

Schoenstadt was named an alternate to the team with nine others while 18 players will comprise the initial roster to travel to Taiwan.

An infielder for the Rock Creek Select U12 team, Schoenstadt was the only player from the Pacific Northwest chosen.
