College baseball team in the 2022 NCAA Division I season
2022 Oregon State Beavers baseball team represented Oregon State University in the 2022 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 coached by Mitch Canham in his third season at Oregon State.
Preseason The Beavers entered the season ranked in the Top-25 by four major poll organizations and were picked to finish second in the Pac-12 preseason coaches poll.[2] [3]
Pac-12 tournament Oregon State finished second in the final regular season conference standing and earned the #2 seed in the inaugural Pac-12 baseball tournament .[4]
The Beavers put together a good run at the Pac-12 tournament, battling their way to the championship game before falling to Stanford. The Beavers were on the wrong end of a 25–22, 10-inning oddity against UCLA, but bounced back to eliminate the Bruins immediately afterward. Trailing 7–6 in the ninth inning of Game 2, OSU tied it on a UCLA fielding error and walked off with the win on an RBI single from Pac-12 Player of the Year Jacob Melton.[5] In the championship game, OSU fought hard and was even tied with Stanford 5–5 at the middle of the seventh inning, but Stanford scored two runs in both the seventh and eighth to seal the win 9–5.[6]
NCAA tournament The Beavers earned the #3 overall seed in the 2022 NCAA Division I baseball tournament and were selected as host site for the Regional and Super Regional rounds. This is the sixth time Oregon State has been a national seed (2005 , 2013 , 2014 , 2017 , 2018 ) and ninth time hosting a regional.[7]
