The 2026 transfer portal window opened on June 1, and Oregon State baseball responded with a wave of departures that reshapes the squad heading into the next season.
Left‑handed freshman pitcher Calvin Gregory, a Lakeridge High School product who had been committed to Oregon State since the summer of 2022, announced his exit on June 1. He remains uncommitted but still holds three years of eligibility, having posted a career 3.37 ERA.
Utility man Bryson Glassco, a junior who appeared in 36 games during the 2026 season after two years at Clackamas Community College, also left the program. He still has one year of eligibility remaining.
Redshirt‑junior outfielder Jace Miller and redshirt‑freshman catcher Ryan VandenBrink completed the exodus, each retaining a single year of eligibility after limited roles in the previous season.
The Beavers' season ended on May 31 with a loss to No. 11 Oregon in the Eugene Regional final, marking the end of a campaign that fell short of expectations.
The departures reflect a broader trend in college baseball, where programs continually adjust rosters through the portal to seek competitive depth and immediate impact.
Implications for the Program
The openings created by these exits provide opportunities for younger talent and signal a shift in recruiting strategy as Oregon State looks to rebuild around emerging prospects.
With Oregon State University, the University of Oregon, Clackamas Community College and the Portland Pilots still active in the regional baseball ecosystem, the program aims to leverage these connections to strengthen its future roster.
