Led by a bevy of dominant performances from a loaded pitching staff, Oregon State has found their way to a 17-1 overall record through the first month of the season. Now, it seems that the Beavers are finally being recognized among the country’s most formidable teams on a national scale, after the recent releases of many of college baseball’s national polls.
In both Collegiate Baseball’s Division I Poll and D1Baseball.com’s Poll, Oregon State was ranked as the #1 overall team in the country, a spot ahead of a 19-0 Louisville team, who (along with the Beavers), are becoming one of the favorites to stake their claim later this summer in Omaha.
