Chris Rembert named to Team USA Collegiate National Team
Following an absolutely fantastic freshman campaign on the Plains, Auburn infielder Chris Rembert earned a coveted spot on the Team USA Collegiate National Team this week. The Pensacola, Florida native was one of 26 players named to the roster last Friday. Only seven freshman made the team. Other than the entire body of work athletes displayed throughout the 2025 college baseball season, Team USA evaluators chose the final roster based on the performance of each player throughout a six-day training camp involving 56 participants. The Auburn freshman, who is now just the 12th player in program history to be named to the Team USA Collegiate National Team, raked throughout his time at camp. In five games, the 6-foot, 202-pound middle infielder showed off the sneaky power that led to 34 extra base hits in 209 at bats during his freshman season at Auburn. Rembert collected 6 hits in 15 plate appearances. One of those hits was a 444-foot leadoff home run, showing off the surprising pop off the freshman's bat. Rembert also stole a pair of bases and came around to score four times in five games. The "stat sheet stuffing" came as no surprise to those familiar with Rembert's game. An All-SEC Second Team and Freshman All-American selection, the sensational first-year Tiger slashed .344 in his first season on the Plains while finding his way on base nearly half of the time he appeared at the dish. Now a member of Team USA, Rembert will join his 25 teammates in Japan when his squad takes part in the 45th USA vs. Japan Collegiate All-Star Series from July 8-13. He is the only Auburn Tiger on the roster, and one of three freshman from the SEC to represent his country.

Auburn's Fralick, Rembert named Freshman All-Americans by Baseball America
Fralick and Rembert made early impacts for the Tigers, impressing the experts at Baseball America. The awards keep rolling in for Auburn baseball after their turnaround season. The latest players acknowledged for their 2025 season are freshmen Chase Fralick and Chris Rembert. On Monday, they were both named to the First Team Freshman All-America team by Baseball America. Both Fralick and Rembert were honored this season, along with Bub Terrell, on the Freshman All-SEC Team. Fralick played catcher for the Tigers in 2025. He was third on the team with a batting average of .335 and was fifth on the team with 41 RBIs. He played well in helping guide the Tigers to a Regional Championship. In the three games versus Central Connecticut State, Stetson, and NC State, he had four hits and one RBI. Fralick scored two runs in an 11-1 win over NC State to clinch the Regional Championship. Second baseman Chris Rembert was not only on the Freshman All-SEC Team but was also on the All-SEC Second Team. He was second on the Tigers with a batting average of .344 and third on the team with 72 hits. Rembert was also third on the team with ten home runs behind Ike Irish and Cooper McMurray. Rembert had perhaps one of his best games of the season against NC State with four hits and four RBIs. He had another four-hit game earlier in the season against Mississippi State in a 6-5 win on April 25th. Both Rembert and Fralick were huge parts of the Tigers' success, as they were one of the top seeds in the NCAA Baseball Tournament and hosted their first-ever Super Regional. The future is bright for both players and the Tigers. Contact/Follow us @TheAuburnWire on X (Twitter), and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Auburn news, notes, and opinions.

New job seekers nudge unemployment rate up to 4.6%
BOSTON (SHNS) – The statewide unemployment rate climbed again in April to 4.6%, slightly widening the gap with the national joblessness rate, labor officials said Friday. Citing federal data, the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development announced that unemployment in Massachusetts rose two-tenths of a percentage point from March to April. The national unemployment rate remained level at 4.2% in that span. It was the fourth straight month that both the labor force and the unemployment rate grew. Compared to April 2024, the labor force included about 52,000 more people and the unemployment rate was 0.7 percentage points higher. Employers also added about 7,700 jobs in April, according to results of a different monthly labor survey, building on the 2,800 positions added in March. Department of Economic Research Chief Economist Mark Rembert said Friday that the job market remained stable 'despite economic headwinds.' 'The unemployment rate edged up, but most significantly, we haven't seen an uptick in layoffs or new unemployment claims, meaning the uptick is being driven by more people entering the workforce and looking for work,' Rembert said in a statement. While employment is relatively stable, many businesses have voiced low confidence in the local economic outlook amid uncertainty about federal spending and tariffs. Economists have also forecast sluggish growth in Massachusetts.

Auburn freshman Chris Rembert wins SEC Player of the Week
Auburn freshman Chris Rembert wins SEC Player of the Week Chris Rembert is first freshman to win SEC Player of the Year this season On Monday, the SEC announced that Auburn freshman Chris Rembert had been named SEC Player of the Week. He had a great week batting .500 and was 9 of 18 at the plate with two home runs and five RBIs. This season, Rembert is batting .324 with six home runs and 26 RBIs. He has also hit eight doubles this season. Rembert is the first freshman to win the award this season. He started the week by going two for five against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in a 1-0 win for the Tigers. However, he had his top performances against the Mississippi State Bulldogs over the weekend. In the 6-5 game one win, Rembert had four hits at four at-bats and drove in two runs. He helped break a 2-2 tie in the fourth inning with a double to lead to runs scored by Chase Fralick and Cooper McMurray. Game two in the series was not as productive. The Tigers lost the game 12-7 due to the pitchers' struggles on Saturday. Rembert did have one home run in the game, though. That was his only hit of the game, and it did get the Tigers within 10-5 in the seventh inning. Auburn picked a 14-8 win on Sunday that clinched the series. Rembert was two of five in the game with one home run and two RBIs. The Tigers led 3-2 in the second inning when Rembert hit a two-run home run to give them a 5-2 lead. The No. 11 Tigers will now look to continue their momentum, as well as Rembert. On Tuesday night, they return to the field in Hoover versus the Samford Bulldogs.
