Ricardo Pepi announced himself to US fans with a hat-trick against Jamaica in World Cup qualifying in 2021, becoming the youngest American to score a World Cup qualifying hat-trick. A powerful, physically imposing centre-forward, he struggled to replicate that form at Augsburg after a January move, but PSV Eindhoven gave him a more structured environment and he responded with goals in the Eredivisie. His hold-up play and aerial ability offer the USMNT a different option up front from the more mobile Balogun, and at 23 he still has room to grow into one of the more complete American strikers in recent memory.
