Oregon Ducks baseball opened up with designs on keeping apace of the 2021 season - even if the rest of NCAA baseball didn’t quite view things in the same lens. In 2021, the Ducks enjoyed season successes that lead to Oregon hosting an NCAA regional. They would lose their regional to LSU at home, but felt good about the season, ending at 39-16.
Oregon opened up the season talking about 2022 as a “reload, not rebuild” season. The Ducks were looking at dealing with the loss of 2021 standouts Aaron Zavala, Kenyon Yovan, and Gabe Matthews.
