The latest episode of the State of the Beavs podcast delivers a packed lineup of updates from Oregon State’s athletic programs, blending fresh coaching news with recruiting breakthroughs and a forward‑looking discussion about the Pac‑12’s resurgence.
A New Chapter for the Pitching Staff
Former MLB left‑hander Andrew Moore, an Oregon State All‑American and former Seattle Mariners starter, has been named the Beavers’ new pitching coach. Moore brings a decade of professional experience, having most recently guided pitchers in the Cleveland Guardians system before returning to his alma mater.
Defensive Additions on the Horizon
On the football side, Oregon State’s defensive roster is set to welcome in‑state linebacker Kawai Chamberlin, a recruit who chose the Beavers over Boise State and San Diego State. Chamberlin’s commitment underscores the program’s growing appeal within the state.
Voices from the Front Row
The episode also features an interview with Texas State journalist Keff Ciardello, host of the podcast Win Now or Get Bent, who offers his perspective on the Pac‑12’s upcoming relaunch and what it means for member schools.
Looking Forward
With Moore’s coaching expertise and a series of strategic defensive signings, the Beavers aim to translate early momentum into sustained success as the conference prepares for its next chapter.
