"About a dozen incoming recruits are included in the fall roster of 40 players that must be pared to 35 for the start of training camp in February."
How does one go about getting a copy of the fall roster?

"About a dozen incoming recruits are included in the fall roster of 40 players that must be pared to 35 for the start of training camp in February." How does one go about getting a copy of the fall roster? Good luck with that! Seems like it's very elusive. You'll probably need to go Indiana Jones mode and dodge some boulders and poison darts to find it hidden deep in the jungle. But that would be cool if you found it and shared it with me.  |

I agree on the first 38 assuming there are no surprises. No idea on the last two spots.

Per Kerry, didn't ask, but I think Christian's days at OSU are over. Truly sad tale. Hope he can get back on top of the world again.

Thanks for the well thought out list. In the realm of role players/bench, I have to wonder if Joe Casey will be on the 35 man roster this year? My hunch is "not". |

Also possible walk-ons: J Mambaje, Z Busalacchi. And possible returning r/s from last year: J McCarthy, C Warren. And JC transfer L Hatley. May be others we have not heard about.

Not to be overly bummed out about something that won't be known, or occur, for a year or so, but I can't help but notice the huge difference between Right NOW - when the upcoming season is accurately characterized as being in the hands of a "largely intact" squad - and what may be the case a year from now - when those who will be 2018 seniors or most-likely drafted juniors, are gone. A whole lot of talent leaving Corvallis by July 2018. Enjoy it while it's here!

Martinek and McCarthy are not back; Tommy Paul has transferred. Add Z. Busalacchi to the newcomer list.

Just gotta love Yeskie's understated demeanor when talking about players:
Christian Chamberlain could be Oregon State's next two-way player. The 5-10, 170-pound southpaw from Reno, Nevada, hit .485 with 10 home runs and 43 RBIs and 20 stolen bases as a senior, but he was 9-1 with a 1.06 ERA and 130 strikeouts in 59 innings as a pitcher.
"He can hit a little, pitch a little, and he has plenty of moxie," Yeskie says. "I think he'll play for us right away, but I'm not sure where."

Also, I have no idea what the level of talent is in his league, but either way, those are just ridiculous video game numbers. |

Those are just silly numbers. Against high-school competition you can compile some impressive stats, but wow. My son played in a 2A/1A league and that could be done there (with an OSU-type talent) but I don't see how you do that in, for instance, a 6A league.

A word on Christian:
Christian Chamberlain is an intriguing prospect. An accomplished left handed pitcher and left handed hitting outfielder from Reno High. Played for Pete Savage at RHS, brother of UCLA Head Coach John Savage. Chamberlain had 9 offers including three from P-12 programs, OSU, UCLA and WSU.
Chamberlain hit 13 home runs and batted .485 and .371 in his final two seasons of HS baseball. Played his summer ball for the traveling Reno Golden Knights. Reno HS plays at the 4A-Division I level in Nevada (the state's highest classification). In 2017, Chamberlain was Northern Nevada's Region Player of the Year, a first team All Nevada 4A selection, an American Baseball Coaches Association second team All American, and a Collegiate Baseball.com Prep All American selection.
The 12 team Northern Nevada 4A League is split into two divisions that includes 8 Reno city schools, 2 from Sparks, Carson City and Minden-Douglas. It's been a few years since I've seen any Reno teams play but I would compare Chamberlain's level of competition to that of the Mt. Hood or 3 Rivers League here at home. Reno High and Reno-Galena would be very competitive in the Metro League as well.
On the mound, he had 6-1, 6-1, and 9-1 seasons with ERAs of 1.35, 1.31, 1.06. In 167 2/3 innings, he struck out 285 hitters and walked only 41. He throws a late tailing fastball in the 86-88 mph range with a hard biting breaking pitch. uses a circle change and soft sweeping curve ball to change speeds. Threw a 15 strikeout no-hitter his Junior year.
Why the intrigue? Where do you play him ?
