BEAVS ARE DOING THIS AS INDEPENDENTS. LET THAT SINK IN.
40-11. Undefeated in series wins. #7 in every poll. On the road more than they’ve been home. And still stacking wins like it’s nothing.Most programs would collapse without a conference safety net. No conference tourney to pad the resume. No easy weekends. Just get on a bus, find a field, and win. That’s been Oregon State’s 2026.
The Arms: Aiden May shoving on Fridays. Jacob Kmatz and that bullpen refusing to break. 3.7 runs allowed/game — tied with #1 UCLA for best in the country.
The Bats: Trent Caraway and Gavin Turley doing damage. Mason Guerra and Canon Reeder coming up clutch. No egos. Just winning baseball.
The Road Record: Ask yourself — how many teams in America could go 40-11 as an independent? Living out of hotels, no conference home weekends, and still never lose a series? One. Oregon State.
Coach Mitch Canham has them bought in. Three national titles since 2006 tells every kid who walks into Goss why they’re there: Omaha or bust. They don’t play for polls. They play for June.
So here’s the deal: If they keep winning every series, they aren’t just a host. They should be a top-8 national seed. Period.
RPI #16? SOS #59? Cool. Results speak louder than words. No team ranked top 7 in every major poll has ever been sent on the road in the 64-team era. You really want to be the first committee to do it to this team?
Put Goss Stadium on the hosting list. Better yet, make it a national seed and let Corvallis host supers. Because if you ship the Beavs out, some #1 seed is getting ambushed by the most dangerous 2-seed in the country.
Independent. Road warriors. Built for Omaha. This is Oregon State Baseball. 🔶⚫

People questioning this pick..are DELUSIONAL!
WR was their MOST IMPORTANT need in this draft. Parting ways Jennings and Aiyuk… this team was in bad need of adding a starting caliber wide receiver. In this guy fits the bill. Just a few reasons why this guy just is a great pic.
1. He CAN play all three receiver positions, the X, the Y or the Z. IT’S IT’S RARE TO FIND A GUY THAT IS THAT VERSATILE.
2. He has elite speed, AND very very good size. He’s 6’ 2”, 207 pounds, runs at 4.36 forty at the combine.
3. He why they considered to be the best blocking wide receiver in the entire draft. If you can’t block, you’re not gonna play for for the Niners.
4. he has very good experience having played a lot of college football for some big-time programs and he’s got a lot of experience and his skills are very own. He is not somebody that is gonna have to learn how to play. This guy knows how to play.
5. Lastly, the 49ers did some Wheeling and dealing they went. They started this draft with only six pics but after they drafted this guy, they suddenly had eight pics. How was that basketball? They traded down twice they knew they wanted this guy and they could’ve got him at 27. They could’ve got them at 30 but they decided to trade down both times, taking him number 33.
