College baseball team in the 2023 NCAA Division I season
The 2023 Oregon State Beavers baseball team represented Oregon State University in the 2023 NCAA Division I baseball season . The Beavers played their home games at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field as members of the Pac-12 Conference . The team was led by Pat Casey Head Baseball Coach Mitch Canham in his fourth season at Oregon State.[ 2]
The Beavers were ranked in the preseason Top-25 by only three of the six major poll organizations and were picked to finish third in the Pac-12 preseason coaches poll despite ending the prior season ranked 10th in the final D1 poll.[ 3] The team lost 18 players from the 2022 squad, including Major League Baseball 1st round pick and National Pitcher of the Year Award winner Cooper Hjerpe , but signed one of the top recruiting classes in the nation.[ 4]
Following a three-game sweep of Coppin State , Trent Sellers was named the Pac-12's Pitcher of the Week and Gavin Turley was selected as conference Player of the Week.[ 5]
Mitch Canham reached his 100th win as head coach on March 7 in a win over San Diego , becoming the fifth Beaver head coach to reach that milestone.[ 6]
Travis Bazzana set the all-time Oregon State record for most steals in a game with five against the Seattle Redhawks . The previous record of four steals in a single game was set by Steve Lyons in 1979 and matched by David Anderson in 1991.[ 7] Bazzana later broke the single-season steal record when he recorded his 30th steal in a game against Utah .[ 8]
