The Oregon State Beavers baseball team represents Oregon State University in NCAA Division I college baseball. The team participates in the Pac-12 Conference. They are currently coached by Pat Casey and assistant coaches Pat Bailey, Nate Yeskie, and Andy Jenkins. They play home games in Goss Stadium at Coleman Field. The Beavers won both the 2006 and 2007 College World Series to become only the fifth team in history to win back-to-back national championships, and the first since the super regional format has been implemented.[2] In addition, the program has won 24 conference championships, qualified for 15 NCAA tournaments, and appeared in five College World Series.

Facilities

Goss Stadium is the Beavers Baseball home stadium.

Goss Stadium at Coleman Field is the home of Oregon State Baseball. Except for the pitcher's mound, the entire infield uses artificial turf, and the outfield is also artificial. In 2015, the Jacoby Ellsbury Players' Locker Room (in name of Jacoby Ellsbury who donated $1 million to the project) was completed which finished a string of upgrades to Goss Stadium.

All-Americans

Oregon State players have been named All-Americans 27 times, as of the end of the 2013 season. The university recognizes All-Americans as selected by the American Baseball Coaches Association, Baseball America magazine, the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper, the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association, and USA Today/Sports Weekly.[3]
