At the center of the celebration is Grady Saunders of Thurston, who earned the prestigious Player of the Year award after guiding the Colts to the 5A state title game. Saunders batted .531 and posted a 1.89 ERA on the mound, numbers that helped his team stay in contention deep into the postseason.
Coach of the Year honors went to Travis Moncrief of Tillamook, whose remarkable turnaround led the Cheesemakers to their first state final in program history, a feat that has been praised for its strategic brilliance and player development.
Other standouts include Jack Frishman from West Linn, the Three Rivers League pitcher of the year, who secured the win in the 6A state final, and JT Girod of Central, the Mid‑Willamette Conference pitcher of the year, who also hit .453 with 29 RBIs.
Class 3A’s Zach Hankins from Taft dominated with an 11‑1 record and a 0.39 ERA, while Cade King of Clackamas earned Mount Hood Conference pitcher of the year after a 1.76 ERA over 47.2 innings.
The depth of talent continued with Nolan Foglio of Clackamas, who hit .382 with 26 RBIs and contributed six relief appearances with a 1.85 ERA, and Teagan Scott from South Salem, the Gatorade Player of the Year, who batted .558 and launched 11 home runs.
Additional honorees such as Brody Panuke from Kennedy, who helped the Trojans capture their third state championship in five seasons, and Gianni Lombardi of Marist Catholic, the 4A player of the year who led the Spartans to their first title, round out a list that reflects the breadth of Oregon’s baseball excellence.
The selections also recognize players who are moving on to the next level, including Jaden Tragesser of Lakeridge, who will attend the College of San Mateo after posting a .402 average and 20 stolen bases, and Chase Austin of Beaverton, the Metro League pitcher of the year, who hit .517 with 27 RBIs.
With the 2026 All‑State team now announced, the conversation shifts to how these performances will influence college recruitments and next season’s expectations, as the state’s baseball landscape prepares for another year of competition.
