Former Oregon State third baseman Trent Caraway announces transfer destination
Former Oregon State third baseman Trent Caraway has a new home in college baseball.
Caraway announced his commitment to the LSU Tigers on Tuesday via social media.
Caraway, a rising junior, was the most outstanding player of the Corvallis regional during the 2025 postseason. He hit six home runs in the postseason overall, an OSU record, finishing the season batting .267 with 12 home runs and 47 RBI.
Caraway entered the transfer portal after Oregon State’s run to the College World Series, and had his name in the MLB Draft but did not get selected.
Seven OSU players were drafted, but Caraway not being selected was a surprise: MLB.com ranked him the No. 145 overall prospect, and there are 615 total picks across 20 rounds.
In the age of NIL, there is less incentive for underclassmen to make the jump to the professional level if their value does not exceed potential earnings in college. That could be the case for Caraway, who took a step back statistically in 2025 and could see a boost to his draft stock with improvement at LSU.

The man had still not been found as of Monday, but officials said his car, a blue Kia Soul, was located shortly after midnight on Saturday with his cell phone inside.

The search for Sawyer has been centered along East Still Creed Road to Veda Lake and Kinzel Lake, along with the U.S. Forest Service roads around Trillium Lake, located about 40 miles southeast of Portland.
Officials said about nearly 40 searchers were involved in the search on Saturday and 70 were mobilized on Sunday, covering hundreds of miles by ground and on vehicles, including ATVs and motorbikes. Technical rope teams were deployed to search over steep terrain while drones and a helicopter from the Oregon National Guard searched from the air.
