Oregon Ducks Close Super Regional as Transfer Carter Johnstone Joins Roster Ahead of MLB Draft

The Ducks' season ends in the NCAA Super Regional, a new infielder arrives, and several players eye the 2026 MLB Draft.

The Oregon Ducks baseball squad saw its season conclude in the Super Regional round of the NCAA Tournament, falling short of the College World Series.

A New Chapter for the Ducks

Adding to the mix, the program secured infielder Carter Johnstone through the transfer portal, a move that brings a Bay Area background and a collegiate pedigree from Cal State Fullerton and Vanderbilt.

Johnstone’s ties to Oregon run deeper than his on‑field contributions; his sister currently serves on the Oregon Dance Team, underscoring a family connection to the university.

As the Ducks look ahead, they face a wave of roster turnover, with several key players — Maddox Molony, Ryan Cooney and Cal Scolari — projected to hear their names called in the 2026 MLB Draft.

The draft itself is slated for July 11‑13, a date that will determine the next chapter for those aspiring professionals.
