The Oregon State Beavers baseball team represents Oregon State University in NCAA Division I college baseball. The team participates in the Pacific-10 Conference. They are currently coached by Pat Casey and assistant coaches Marty Lees, David Wong, and Pat Bailey. They play home games in Goss Stadium at Coleman Field. The Beavers won both the 2006 and 2007 College World Series to become only the fifth team in history to win back-to-back national championships, and the first since the super regional format has been implemented.^[1]

The team was featured on the second episode in season five of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, when the show came to Corvallis to help build a new home for a family with an eight year old girl fighting cancer.^[2] The team helped demolish the family's old home with their baseball bats, while Benny Beaver operated the backhoe.

Oregon State has had 23 All-Americans in the history of the program as of the end of the 2007 season. The university recognizes All-Americans as selected by the American Baseball Coaches Association, Baseball America magazine, the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper, the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association, and USA Today/Sports Weekly.^[3]
