It appears the Oregon State coaches are still adding a few selected walk-on players to the 2022 class that will be reporting shortly. ISAIAH BURKE is a 5-11, 185 pound catcher from Mt. Hood Community College that played one year for the Saints and Head Coach Brian Donohue following graduation from Springfield-Thurston HS. He has 4 years to play 3 in terms of eligibility,
With Gavin Logan's status for 2023 TBD, we have catchers Tanner Smith and Wilson Weber returning. Burke will be the only catcher in the 2022 class but the position-versatile Easton Talt may hold some interest for the staff since he's played the position before. In the '23 class, the Beavers bring in Anthony Marnell Jr. from Bishop Gorman in Las Vegas and Evan Gustafson from Eau Claire - Altoona in Wisconson.
Isaiah Burke's 2022 stats were:
49 gms. 212 PA, 50-177 and .282 BA, 17 dbl, 2 trp, 4 HR, 17 BB, 11 HBP, 30 K, 45 RBI, 33 R. 3/5 SBA. Slash was .282/ 373/ .469 Fielding % was .994 (e errors on 342 chances).
Good student with 3.9 GPA at Thurston HS.

Makes sense. Gavin is probably off as he has a degree and a lot of quality behind him. Whoever earns the start next year will also probably be gone. We’ve seen all season that having 3 healthy catchers is important if you want to have a DH available.
