Pat Casey - 2026 ABCA Hall of Fame Inductee, Oregon State
Finishing our 2026 ABCA Hall of Fame Class interviews Pat Casey etched his name among the greats in college baseball history, leading Oregon State to national prominence during a coaching career that spanned more than three decades.
Casey served as head coach at George Fox University (Ore.) from 1988 to 1994, compiling a 171-113-1 (.602) record before taking over at Oregon State in 1995. During his tenure with the Beavers, he compiled a 900-458-6 (.662) record and became the winningest coach in any sport in Oregon State history, finishing with a career record of 1,071-571-7 (.649).
Under his leadership, Oregon State made six College World Series appearances and became just the fifth program in NCAA history to win back-to-back national titles with their 2006 and 2007 championship runs. Following the Beavers' third national title in 2018, Casey announced his retirement after 24 seasons in Corvallis.
Oregon State's success earned Casey National Coach of the Year honors from the ABCA three times, as well as five Pac-10/12 Coach of the Year awards. Casey was named the College Baseball Coach of the Decade (2000–2009) by Baseball America and was inducted into the College Baseball Hall of Fame and Oregon State Athletics Hall of Fame in 2024.
