Players, coaches and media are all talking about the quality and power of the lineup this year. So what are some ridiculous Homer goals?
I'll start with every player in the lineup having a hr in a single game. I know it's never happened in the MLB but not so sure about D1. 8 players in a game has happened twice in the MLB.

If we get 9 HRs in a game period, we break the Pac-12 record. Need 5 in an inning to break that Pac-12 record.
I doubt we beat UCLA in 97 getting 142 HRs. Stanford hit 117 and 118 in 2022 and 2023 are 2nd/3rd on the list. As a point of reference, the Beavs led the Pac-12 in HRs in 2018 with 67 which was 23 more than the previous year. Games in Tuscon, SLC and Reno might be the games to see single game records go, at least for Beaver team records.

That was in the hot bat era, before they regulated the bats. |

That was in the hot bat era, before they regulated the bats. Oregon State posted its all-time best batting average and slugging percentage in 1997. The Beavs hit fewer home runs than in 2018 but had more homers/game. Oregon State hit even more homers/game in 1998, 1.22 homers/game. |

OK, I'll play.
At least a home run in every game. I'd like to see that. It may have been done before, but I don't care about that. I'd just like to see the Beavers be able to hit any pitcher.

Potential for a lot of em is there. Potential for a lot of K's too. I know the HR is more exciting, but I'm looking more for competitive AB's, ala Forrester, Madrigal, Bazzana

6 players with double digit HR’s
Had 5 last year but as far as I can tell, it’d been at least a decade since we even had 2 with double digits in the same year.

At least a home run in every game or on average? The last time that Oregon State averaged a home run every game was 2002. The last time that Oregon State averaged more than a home run every game was 2000. Oregon State's record for homers/game was 1.22 back in 1998. Oregon State has never hit a home run in every game. Just by way of example, in 2018, in which Oregon State hit 67 home runs in 68 games, the best homer/game average since 2002, the Beavs hit home runs in 40 of 68 games, 60.61% of all games. That is a higher percentage of games than 2000 or 2002. It would be impressive for Oregon State to homer in 41+ games in 2024. |

Before last year, the last time that Oregon State had multiple hitters hit 10+ home runs in a season was 2010. Stefen Romero and Adalberto Santos hit 13 and 10 home runs, respectively. The pair combined for more than half of the Beavs' home runs in 2010. The time before that was 2007, when Mitch Canham, Jordan Lennerton, and Mike Lissman each hit 10, more than 60% of the home runs for Oregon State in 2007. 2007, 2010, and 2023 are the only three times in the past 25 years that multiple Beavs have hit 10+ home runs in the same season. |

For anyone not in the know in 2023 we had 89 HR in 61 games.
Based on the interviews coming out I would not be shocked if 3 players go over 15 (Turley, Kasper, and Guerra would be my bet).

Prediction: Turley hits one that comes down in a different time zone
