The 2026 college baseball season has produced a rare trio of Oregon State right‑handers who have each earned All‑American honors from the sport’s leading evaluators, underscoring the program’s depth on the mound.
Dax Whitney, a sophomore who opened the year as a weekend starter, posted a 6‑1 record with a 2.00 ERA over 63 innings before a torn ulnar collateral ligament forced him to undergo Tommy John surgery, ending his campaign early.
Freshman Trey Morris, thrust into the weekend rotation after Whitney’s setback, answered the call with a 1.98 ERA across 59 innings, the lowest among starters who logged at least 40 frames, and capped the year by striking out nine batters in six‑and‑two‑thirds innings against Washington State.
Albert Roblez, a fifth‑year senior, anchored the bullpen with 14 saves and a 1.50 ERA, allowing just five runs on 18 hits in 30 innings, and his consistency helped the Beavers close out a strong campaign.
What This Means for the Program
The accolades not only highlight individual excellence but also signal a promising pipeline for the program as it transitions toward the next season, with young arms poised to fill the void left by departing seniors.
