THE 2021 BEAVER REPORT CARD FROM BASEBALL AMERICA

Oregon State (37-24, 16-14), reached regionals ⬆️


"Coming off of an up-and-down shortened 2020 season in Mitch Canham’s first campaign at the helm, it was hard to know what to expect from Oregon State in 2021. As it turned out, OSU was a very solid club from start to finish, led by a deep pitching staff and a lineup that rotated pieces in and out fairly seamlessly, even as the team battled injuries.


For a team that won the national title in 2018 and hosted a regional in 2019, it might seem like a regional appearance isn’t much to celebrate, but context matters here. Just in the last couple of years, Oregon State has dealt with the retirement of a legendary coach in Pat Casey, went through a season with an interim coach in Pat Bailey and then endured a somewhat dramatic coaching search that ended with Canham being hired rather than Bailey or longtime pitching coach Nate Yeskie. Some wondered how things would go given all of that. So far, so good for the Beavers under Canham."
