- “The Diamond: A Season With Oregon State Baseball” is a video series produced by the Oregon State athletic department that has followed the program around all-season long, documenting the long and grueling effort behind a full season of college baseball.

- As part of Oregon State athletic department’s “Everyday Champions” series, Beavers’ outfielder Jack Anderson was recognized for his development from a once walk-on to a now featured part of the program’s top-ranked team. Despite a logjam at his position over the years and complete uncertainty that he’d ever regularly see the field, Anderson’s perseverance to continuously improve and earn his spot on the team, garners him the highest praises of associate head coach Pat Bailey throughout the clip.
- Just before the Oregon State baseball team heads out to Omaha for the College World Series, BeaversEdge caught up with head coach Pat Casey and players Drew Rasmussen, Bryce Fehmel, Nick Madrigal and KJ Harrison, to hear their thoughts about the upcoming trip.

- NFL or guacamole? It may not be the “age old question” but for former Oregon State stand-out and Baltimore Ravens rookie Ricky Ortiz, it may be the line that defines his future, as told in this story by Jamison Hensley of ESPN. Within the piece, details emerge about Ortiz being the co-owner of a 150-acre avocado farm in Mexico, that will serve as his “fallback plan”, if the whole professional football thing doesn’t quite work out for him.
