The biggest story in Corvallis this week centers on Rich Dorman's replacement. After Dorman left Corvallis for a job on Florida's staff, taking multiple Oregon State pitchers with him, former OSU All-American Andrew Moore has assumed the role of Oregon State's pitching coach.
Moore, who fans in the Northwest may also remember from his time pitching for the Seattle Mariners, most recently spent time coaching pitchers for minor league clubs in the Cleveland Guardians organization.

Meanwhile, the Oregon State football program has seen some big wins in recent days. There's been a massive surge in commitments on the defensive side of the ball, notably with prospects coming from all over the country. In the case of in-state linebacker Kawai Chamberlin, the Beavers beat out new conference mates Boise State and San Diego State for a commitment.
It's also time to begin our series of conversations with experts on Oregon State's Pac-12 brethren ahead of the 2026 football season. This week, Texas State Bobcats journalist Keff Ciardello, host of Win Now or Get Bent, joins the show to offer his perspective on the relaunch of the conference.
It's a very busy week in Corvallis and beyond. Go Beavs.
