NATIONAL PITCHER OF THE YEAR: Cooper Hjerpe - Oregon State OF Jacob Melton - Oregon State
RPG on Hjerpe: 2022 Perfect Game/Rawlings Pitcher of the Year:
Cooper Hjerpe, Oregon State
"Oregon State was the No. 3 national seed this year and Friday nights in Corvallis might have been the surest thing to a safe bet across the country. Cooper Hjerpe was an established rotation member in 2021 before taking the leap to become the best pitcher in college baseball this season, leading the country in strikeouts in the process.
Hjerpe has established himself as a true first round talent, a pitcher who possesses some of the most unique qualities out of any pitcher across the nation. He’s a low- to mid-90s left-hander who comes at hitters from a sidearm slot and features a devastating sweeping slider that gets both left and right-handed hitters out.
Hjerpe also turned in one of the best single-game performances of the season where he punched out seventeen hitters over eight shutout innings with just two hits allowed. against Omaha bound Stanford. Hjerpe has consistently showed in one of the top conferences in baseball and no pitcher in the draft has the statistical track record that he does; he’s our Pitcher of the Year"
And now we await the draft. . . should be first day guys.

I should add.
The PAC-12 had Arizona C Daniel Susac on the second team, Stanford 1B Carter Graham and ASU OF Joe Lampe on the 3rd team. (Surprised no Dylan Beavers or Boyd mentioned).
Three PAC-12 players made the Freshman fist team, led by OSU's Travis Bazzana, UCLA SS Cody Schrier and Stanford OF Braden Montgomery.
OSU's Jacob Kmatz was the only PAC-12 player named to the 2nd team.
