Rankings from D1Baseball

The 2024 Oregon State Beavers baseball team represented Oregon State University in the 2024 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Beavers played their home games at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field as members of the Pac-12 Conference. This was the final year the Beavers baseball team played as members of the Pac-12 Conference. They begin competing as an independent in 2025.[2] The team was led by Pat Casey Head Baseball Coach Mitch Canham in his fifth season at Oregon State.[3]

## Preseason

[edit]

Following the 2023 season, assistant coach Darwin Barney declined to return for a fourth year on the Beaver's coaching staff, clearing a spot for former 2007 national champion teammate Joey Wong.[4] Wong had previously served as an assistant coach on the 2020 team.

The team returned six starters from the 2023 squad and augmented the roster with players from the transfer portal and a Freshman class ranked in the top-10 by D1 Baseball and Baseball America.[5][6] Junior second baseman Travis Bazzana was named a preseason All-American by Perfect Game.[7]

## Regular season

[edit]

In a May 5 win over Washington State Travis Bazzana belted his 22nd home run, breaking the single season home run record previously set by Jim Wilson in 1982. Bazzana hit three home runs in the game, the final of which gave the Beavers their 90th of the season, breaking the single-season team record of 89 set by the 2023 squad. The game also saw Bazzana become the first Beaver to cross 200 career runs scored.[8]

Bazzana continued his assault on the Oregon State record books in the series opener against UCLA by stealing the 63rd base of his career, overtaking Todd Thomas as the all-time leader.[9] In the UCLA series finale he hit a double, marking his 239th overall base hit and surpassing Darwin Barney at number one on the career hits list.[10]

The final game of the regular season against Arizona was the winner-take-all deciding game for the Pac-12 Regular Season crown. Arizona took an early 1–0 lead in the 2nd inning but Oregon State scored two in the 3rd before Arizona tied the game 2–2 in the 6th. In the top half of the 9th inning Oregon State scored the go-ahead run to put the Beavers up 3–2, but in the bottom half of the 9th Arizona slapped a two-run RBI to win the game and the regular season Pac-12 championship.[11][12]

Accolades
Travis Bazzana garnered national Player of the Week honors by Perfect Game/Rawlings following an opening weekend where he hit three home runs and tallied six runs batted in, leading the Beavers to a perfect 4–0 record.[13] Bazzana earned Perfect Game's national Player of the Week honors again on March 26 following a victory over Portland and a three-game sweep of Washington, where he led off all four games with a home run, totaled six home runs and drove in 11 runs.[14] Following a "monster month of March, hitting .475 (29-for-61) in 16 games with 27 runs scored, four doubles, one triple, 10 homers and 26 RBI," Bazzana was named the Dick Howser Trophy National Hitter of the Month by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association.[15]

Aiden May was named the National Pitcher of the Week by D1Baseball.com, Perfect Game, and NCBWA after a career high 14 strikeout performance on April 26 against rival Oregon. May allowed only one hit and one walk in his eight innings of work.[16]

Five different Oregon State players received Pac-12 Player/Pitcher of the Week recognition: Travis Bazzana (three times), Jacob Kmatz (three times), Mason Guerra, Gavin Turley, and Aiden May.[17]

## Postseason

[edit]

Pac-12 Tournament
Oregon State earned the No. 2 seed in the final Pac-12 baseball tournament, where they were placed in Pool B with Arizona State and Stanford. Stanford won the first game against Arizona State 8–7 and then beat Oregon State 2–1 in the second game, winning Pool B. This meant that in order to get the wild card berth into the semifinal round Oregon State had to beat Arizona State the following day and hope for Arizona to win Pool A. Oregon State beat Arizona State 3–2 but Arizona lost to California 7–5, which gave Arizona the wildcard spot and ended the Beavers' Pac-12 tournament.[18][19]

NCAA tournament
Oregon State entered the NCAA tournament as the No. 15 overall seed and hosted a Regional for the 12th time in school history (10th since 2005), sweeping the series in three straight games.[20] They then faced Kentucky in the Super Regional, losing in two straight, marking an end to their long-time run as members of the Pac-12.[21]
