Andrew Moore, a former All‑American pitcher who dominated the rotation for Oregon State from 2013 to 2015, has been appointed the program’s new pitching coach. The announcement comes as the Beavers look to build on a promising recent stretch and push for a national championship.
During his collegiate career Moore posted a 2.10 ERA and compiled a 27‑9 record, earning All‑American honors in both 2013 and 2015. The right‑hander was later selected in the second round of the 2015 draft by the Seattle Mariners and went on to make ten major‑league starts with the club before transitioning to coaching.
Most recently Moore served as a pitching coach within the Cleveland Guardians organization, where he helped develop several arms that contributed to the club’s bullpen depth. His experience across both the minor and major leagues gave him a reputation as a meticulous strategist and a player‑focused mentor.
A Familiar Face Returns
Mitch Canham, the head coach of the Oregon State Beavers, expressed enthusiasm about reuniting with Moore, noting that the pitcher’s deep understanding of the program’s culture will be a valuable asset as the team strives for postseason success.
The Beavers’ roster, anchored by a blend of veteran talent and fresh recruits, is expected to lean heavily on Moore’s expertise in pitch sequencing and injury‑prevention protocols. With the new coaching staff in place, the club hopes to translate its early‑season momentum into a sustained run toward the College World Series.
The move also underscores the university’s commitment to continuity, as former standouts like Pat Casey have left a lasting legacy that new leaders are eager to expand upon. Moore’s return is seen as a bridge between past triumphs and future aspirations.
