All‑American Recognition
Tanner Bradley, a right‑handed reliever for the Oregon Ducks, was recently selected to Baseball America’s All‑American second team, a distinction that underscores a breakout season for the senior pitcher.
The honor adds to a trio of All‑America nods Bradley collected this year, also earning recognition from the NCBWA and Perfect Game. The three honors tie for the fifth‑most in Oregon history, highlighting the rarity of his achievement.
Bradley finished the campaign with a 1.66 earned‑run average and a program‑record 0.82 WHIP, appearing in 31 games and striking out 84 batters over 54.1 innings. Opponents managed just a .137 batting average against him, while he allowed only 12 runs — 10 earned — on 25 hits.
His impact extended beyond statistics; Bradley led the Ducks in appearances, ERA and batting average against, and paced all relievers in innings pitched. He surrendered earned runs in only seven of his 31 outings, and five of those appearances limited opponents to a single run.
The performance places Bradley among an elite group of Oregon alumni who have earned multiple All‑America honors, joining former standouts such as David Peterson, Aaron Zavala, Jimmie Sherfy and Mason Neville, each of whom also left a lasting mark on the program.
Coach Mike White praised Bradley’s composure under pressure, noting that his ability to limit damage in high‑leverage situations was a key factor in the Ducks’ success this year. The pitcher’s disciplined approach and command of his fastball have drawn attention from professional scouts.
As the Ducks look ahead to next season, Bradley’s accolades serve as a benchmark for future relievers and reinforce the program’s reputation for developing top‑tier talent. The combination of individual awards and historic rankings signals a promising trajectory for Oregon baseball.
