With the new NCAA recruiting rules initiated last year, public news and information from the high school recruiting trail has been sparse, if not non-existent until the recent commitments from Bellerose and Karis. Next month at the beginning of their Junior year in high school, the Beavs will be in contact with the Class of 2026 prospects. OSU has a running start with six early commits, 5 that were pledged prior to the new rules taking effect. These 6 recruits have been made public, and there may be others pledged that we are unaware of;

RHP Keagan Mattson - Redmond, WA. - Eastlake HS
RHP Grady Saunders - Springfield, OR. - Thurston HS

TWO PROSPECTS FROM THE TOP_18 LIST
Scouting reports on Huntington Beach shortstop CJ Weinstein, a teammate of OSU 2025 commits Ethan Porter, John Petrie and Tyler Bellerose and, the top prospect in Canada, LHP Sean Duncan from Port Coquitlam, B.C.
SS C.J. WEINSTEIN
Weinstein entered the summer ranked among the top 50 prospects in the class and elevated his stock even more after great showing both offensively and defensively the last two months. The No. 13 player in the country, Weinstein had an outstanding game against Canada, going 2-for-5 with a home run on a first-pitch slider on the inner third that the lefthanded hitter pulled over the right field fence. Later in the game he doubled off a lefty, driving a fastball the other way over the left fielder’s head. Those extra-base hits were encouraging to see, but Weinstein’s calling card is his stellar bat control. He didn’t swing and miss during the entire event, using a compact, balanced swing that’s consistently on plane and on time. Weinstein also played well defensively, robbing a hit at second base while ranging into the 4-3 hole on a groundball that he slid to field, popped up quickly and threw from his knees to get the out at first base. He’s uncommitted for college.
LHP SEAN DUNCAN
Duncan is the top player in Canada for 2026, a lefty with a smooth, free-and-easy delivery on the younger end of the class with a good mix of pitchability and projection in his 6-foot-2, 175-pound build. Throwing exclusively from the stretch, Duncan filled the strike zone with his fastball over his three innings and got a lot of swing-and-miss with that pitch in the zone, touching 92+ mph from his three-quarters slot with the look of a pitcher who should be into the mid-90s in the next few years. He showed feel for an 81-85 mph changeup that he used to get a couple of swings and misses and a 77-81 mph slider that he landed for strikes. He’s uncommitted for college and the No. 33 player in the 2026 class.
