Oregon State Baseball Schedule 2024: What To Know – FloBaseball

Though the Pac-12 Conference is crumbling all around it, Oregon State—one of just two schools, along with Washington State, slated to stay in the league after this school year—is holding firm.

It would be awfully fitting, then, if the Beavers could send those leaving the Pac-12 on their merry way with the league’s final pre-realignment baseball title in their grasp.

A major-league factory with an alumni list that includes Adley Rutschman, Michael Conforto and Jacoby Ellsbury, OSU has been a consistent figure at the top of the college baseball scene for decades. Even with its conference future murky, the Beavers’ tradition of success on the diamond likely won’t be bothered much.

Entering the spring with a deep lineup and Travis Bazzana, one of the top prospects in college baseball, the Beavers are building for yet another lengthy postseason run. Pulling it off this year, in particular, would make for one of OSU’s most memorable moments.

The Beavers will begin their 2024 journey at the Sanderson Ford College Baseball Classic and the Kubota College Baseball Series Weekend 2, both will be streamed on FloBaseball.

Here’s everything you need to know about Oregon State baseball ahead of the 2024 season:

How Did Oregon State Baseball Do In 2023?

A 40-win season with an NCAA Tournament appearance is nothing to be ashamed about.

The Beavers recovered well from a 1-5 start in league play to finish second in the Pac-12 Conference behind regular-season champion Stanford.

Though OSU was just shy of a second straight trip to the super-regional round—it was eliminated by eventual national champion LSU in the final of the Baton Rouge Regional—the Beavers once again were one of the best-performing teams of the year from a West Coast state. They also smacked a school-record 89 home runs with the same number of stolen bases, the latter number of which led the Pac-12.

Who Coaches Oregon State Baseball?

Mitch Canham is the coach of Oregon State. The former All-American catcher was one of the main stars on the Beavers’ back-to-back national title teams of 2006 and 2007. Canham played for eight years in the minor leagues as a first-round MLB Draft pick, before getting into the coaching game in 2016.

He then bounced around coaching collegiate summer league and minor-league teams until being hired as OSU’s coach in 2020, succeeding interim coach Pat Bailey, after Bailey himself succeeded Pat Casey, a 900-game winner and the most decorated coach in program history.

Canham’s debut season was cut short by COVID-19, but he went from 37 wins in 2021 to 48 in 2022, then 41 in 2023. His success included NCAA Tournament appearances all three times, and he has coached seven All-America selections along the way.

Has Oregon State Ever Won The College World Series?

Yes, Oregon State has won the Men’s College World Series three times in 10 appearances. The victories came in 2006, 2007 and 2018.

All three national championships came with Casey at the helm. He led the Beavers to the CWS six times in his decorated tenure.

Notable Returning Players

Travis Bazzana, INF

No Australian has ever been picked No. 1 overall in an MLB Draft.

Bazzana could become the first to accomplish the feat, especially if the native Aussie has another lights-out season for the Beavers in 2024.

MLB.com’s No. 3-ranked prospect for the 2024 draft, Bazzana hit .374 with a 1.122 OPS, while stealing an OSU-record 36 bases as a sophomore a season ag. His stock skyrocketed after winning the esteemed Cape Cod League’s batting title and its MVP award this past summer.

Projected to be a second baseman as a pro, the left-handed hitter’s speed and consistent ability to make contact makes him a candidate for another potential All-America nod and one of the favorites to take home the Pac-12 Player of the Year Award.

Gavin Turley, OF

The home run leader on the home-run-happiest team in OSU history, Turley—a MLB Draft pick of the Arizona Diamondbacks out of high school—arrived in Corvallis and immediately began smashing the baseball (he homered in his first collegiate at-bat), leading the Beavers with 14 long bombs on the season.

The Arizonan batted .309, had 13 multi-hit games on the year and was second on the OSU roster in OPS (1.102) behind Bazzana, all helping to make him a Perfect Game Second-Team Freshman All-America selection for his performances.

Bazzana, Turley, junior infielder Mason Guerra and senior outfielder Brady Kasper all return after double-digit homer seasons to give the Beavers plenty of power. If Turley improves on a few factors (such as plate discipline after striking out in 60 of 149 at-bats), we could see an even better sophomore campaign for him, and a rise up the draft boards.

Notable Newcomers

Elijah Hainline, INF

A do-it-all player over the past two seasons at Washington State, Hainline moved to a Pac-12 rival and power in the offseason and should be one of the candidates looking to fill the gap left behind by former OSU starting shortstop Kyle Dernedde, who transferred to Michigan.

After a so-so freshman year with the Cougars in 2022 (.228 average, seven doubled, 21 RBIs), Hainline had a breakout campaign during his sophomore year in which he became one of the Pac-12’s best infielders and the first WSU player to have double-digit doubles (12), home runs (12) and stolen bases (10) in a single season in 13 years.

Coming to Corvallis after batting .337 a year ago, Hainline could add a jolt of offense to the middle infield, with the added boost that he’s already proven to be a strong hitter against Pac-12 opposition.

Aiden May, RHP

Another offseason OSU transfer with ties to another Pac-12 program, May joined Arizona as a sophomore junior college transfer last season and became a member of the Wildcats’ rotation, helping them make the NCAA Tournament.

Though May’s one season in Tucson didn’t feature numbers that jump off the page—he finished 5-3 with a 6.33 ERA and 77 strikeouts— his fastball can touch the mid-to-upper 90s and may help him get into the weekend rotation as a power pitcher.

He’s likely to mesh right away with a rotation that includes the likes of the Beavers’ Saturday arm from last year, Jacob Kmatz, a friend he also happened to go to high school with in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Small Oregon town residents’ trust shaken as state sues disaster nonprofit founder

Small Oregon town residents’ trust shaken as state sues disaster nonprofit founder

BLUE RIVER, Ore. (KATU) — The founder of a former disaster relief nonprofit is being sued for allegedly diverting nearly $837,000 in donations and grants for personal gain.

Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield filed the lawsuit Thursday against the founder and executive director of Cascade Relief Team (CRT), Marcus Brooks. In the complaint, Rayfield calls CRT “a sham.”

Brooks is accused of stealing donations and government grants meant for disaster relief following wildfires and flooding in 2020, and using it for personal expenses including casino visits, travel, vehicles, and more.

CRT was founded in 2020 and was hired for cleanup and relief services following the Labor Day Wildfires that burned over 1 million acres across Oregon.

In Blue River, an unincorporated community in the McKenzie River Valley, the 2020 Holiday Farm Fire destroyed nearly 800 homes and burned more than 173,000 acres.

I am angry that my community was taken advantage of

Just months after the fire, long-time Blue River resident Melanie Stanley said CRT stepped in and promised help to the community.

“For us, it was…like a savior at that point,” Stanley said.

Stanley was the manager for the Blue River Resource Center and worked for Brooks to help facilitate recovery efforts. She said CRT operations slowly became questionable.

“None of us knew the level at which all of this stuff that finally came out was at,” Stanley said. “We knew that there was some stuff that had started to look hinky or feel hinky, or there was just some lack of communication that was happening. There were some other things that were happening, and so we just all were kind of guarded.”

In fall of 2023 the nonprofit was reported to have run out of money, and Brooks allegedly fired staff without disclosing the organization’s financial conditions and did not notify donors or beneficiaries. Stanley was one of those people fired.

The state now claims the funds that were meant to go towards communities like Blue River, never made it out of Brooks’ hands, including donations given by Blue River neighbors.

“I am angry that my community was taken advantage of, and I am angry that they now have to worry about trusting when something else happens, because we know something else is going to happen,” Stanley said. “We hope to God it’s never anything as big or as bad as what has happened, but you know, we also have learned that groups like Locals Helping Locals…they are our foundation, and they are because they’re us.”

The state is seeking to recover the money, permanently bar Brooks from serving in a leadership role at a charitable organization and dissolve the nonprofit.

Stanley said Brooks’ actions have tainted reputations.

“We as a community and as the people from the community who helped kind of put all of these things together, we did what was asked of us,” Stanley said. “We did help clean things, and we did help get things to provide, you know, more progress and get things moving forward, and we did good work, and so I just really hope that this is not overshadowed.”

According to Stanley, Blue River’s recovery now stands at 50%.

“We will be very picky from here on out about who and what groups gets let in to help with anything,” Stanley said. “And sadly, it may be to our detriment, but he did more damage now, as far as reputations go, and for that I’m angry. I’m very angry.”

Oregon Ducks Recruiting Target Darius Johnson Announces Finalists

Oregon Ducks Recruiting Target Darius Johnson Announces Finalists

The Oregon Ducks have been progressing through the class of 2027 with hopes of landing some of their top target’s commitment on both the offense and the defense.

With many names left on the board, the Ducks have started to receive some great news, including some news from someone they have been targeting since they offered back in January of 2025.

Darius Johnson Releases His Top Four Schools

One of the Ducks top targets’ in the 2027 class at the cornerback position is Darius Johnson. Johnson recently released his top schools with Hayes Fawcett, as he is entering a crucial part of his recruitment. The four schools he has listed at the top include the California Golden Bears, Michigan Wolverines, UCLA Bruins, and the Oregon Ducks.

Johnson is one of the better cornerbacks in the country. He currently ranks as the nation’s No. 178 prospect in the country, No. 20 player at the position, and the No. 14 player in the state of California, according to Rivals. Landing his commitment would be major for any of the schools, as he is someone who could see the field early due to his size, and his growing ability to lockdown a side of the field all by himself.

Johnson currently measures in at 6-1 and 155 pounds, and will be someone who continues to add weight through his high school program, and will eventually have the chance to really improve his frame when he gets to college. As of now, each of the four schools has a solid chance to win its recruiting battle, but there seems to be a clear leader at this moment.

The leader for the Ducks target seems to be the Michigan Wolverines, who have the only scheduled official visit at this moment. It seems likely that the talented prospect will schedule his other official visits sooner rather than later now that he has officially cut down his list. If the Ducks want to land his commitment, they will need to get him on an official visit because they are likely trailing at this point.

What If He Committed to Oregon Today?

If he were to commit to the Ducks today, he would be the ninth commitment for the Ducks in the class of 2027. He would also be the third cornerback commit for the Ducks in the class of 2027, which is a position they have been recruiting heavily. The cornerbacks the Ducks have at this moment are four-star Ai’King Hall from the state of Alabama and four-star Josiah Molden from the state of Oregon.

Some of their other commits at this moment include four-star EDGE Rashad Streets, four-star defensive linemen Zane Rowe, and four-star EDGE Cameron Pritchett. This class is shaping up to be another top-five class if the pieces continue to fall into place for Oregon coach Dan Lanning and his staff.
