Oregon State Notables
Oregon State is the No. 2 seed at the Pac-12 Tournament for the third consecutive season.
The Beavers are 3-4 all-time at the tournament. OSU went 3-2 and advanced to the title game in 2022 before going 0-2 last season.
OSU is meeting Stanford for the second time at the tournament, following a 9-5 loss in the 2022 title game.
The Beavers are 51-55 all-time against the Cardinal but 0-7 in neutral-site games. The 2022 matchup was the first neutral-site meeting between the teams since 1986.
Travis Bazzana was named the Pac-12 Player of the Year on Tuesday. He's the eighth Beaver all-time named the conference's player of the year and first since Jacob Melton in 2022.
Bazzana was also selected as one of 25 semifinalists for the Golden Spikes Award on Monday. He's the lone representative from the Pac-12.
Oregon State took 2-of-3 games from Stanford at Goss Stadium in April. The Beavers hit six home runs in the series, and out-scored the Cardinal, 19-12.
Bazzana set the OSU career record for doubles in the series versus Arizona and now stands at 52 on the year. He's next in line to break the OSU single-season record for runs. He has 80 and needs four to surpass Cole Gillespie's 83 in 2006.
Nine of Oregon State's 13 losses this season have been by two runs or less, with eight coming by one. The Beavers finished the regular season 0-6 in one-run games on the road.
OSU's five Pac-12 First-Team selections marked the second most under Mitch Canham, second to 2022's eight. The Beavers have tallied 18 first-team honorees in four years - not counting 2020 - under Canham.
Bazzana became the Beavers' first three-time first-team selection since Nick Madrigal from 2016-18.
AJ Lattery is due to make his third appearance and second start of the season on Wednesday.
OSU comes into the tournament ranked in the top-10 of all five major polls for the third consecutive week. The Beavers have spent time outside any of the top-10 spots in just three of 15 weeks this year.
OSU is 116-37 since 2020 when scoring first.
