One of the most influential sports figures in the state of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest, Casey has made Oregon State a national power. • Oregon State overcame six elimination games to win the title in 2018. The Beavers outscored their opponents, 59-30, and set a College World Series record with 93 hits. • Casey was named the National Coach of the Year by the American Baseball Coaches Association (ACBA) and Collegiate Baseball. • The Beavers tallied a 55-12-1 record in 2018, winning 40 or more games for the ninth time during his tenure, and 50 or more for the fourth time. • Oregon State is the winningest NCAA Division I team since the start of the 2017 season, posting 111 victories. The Beavers are 111-18-1 (.857) during that stretch. • Casey has taken Goss Stadium at Coleman Field’s home-field advantage to a new level since ‘17. The Beavers are 58-6 (.906) in their last 64 games at Goss. • Oregon State finished the 2017 campaign with a school-record 56 wins. The team went 56-6 overall, and its .903 winning percentage tied for the fourth-best in NCAA Division I history. • Casey guided Oregon State to its sixth-ever trip to the College World Series, and fifth since 2005. • Oregon State set a Pac-12 record for the most wins ever in conference play, going 27-3. That surpassed the 1981 record previously held by Arizona State at 26 wins. OSU won the conference by six games, the largest margin in more than 30 years. • Casey’s squad was ranked as the consensus No. 1 team in the nation for 10 consecutive weeks to end the regular season. Oregon State began the year ranked in the top 10 and rose to No. 1 by at least one publication for 12 straight rankings. OSU is the only team to ever be ranked for 10 straight weeks or more in the 58-year history of the Collegiate Baseball rankings. • He was named the 2017 Pac-12 Coach of the Year and the National Coach of the Year by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA). • Casey became the 16th active coach with 1,000 or more wins at four-year schools when he reached the milestone May 12 at Oregon. Not only did he reach the milestone that night, but the Beavers won their fifth conference crown since 2005. • Casey is 900-458-6 in his 24 seasons at Oregon State, recording a .662 winning percentage. • All-time, as a collegiate head coach, Casey’s teams have gone 1,071-572-7 (.651).

The voting was done by fellow collegiate coaches. Oregon State was named the No. 2 program of the decade, just behind Texas. • Also in 2010, he and his wife, Susan, were recipients of the Nell and John Wooden Coaching Achievement Award. The honor goes to a head coach and his spouse for their dedication to success on the field and in making an impact on the lives of their players. • Oregon State players have been named an All-American a total of 28 times during his tenure, including seven in 2018. Michael Conforto became the first Oregon State player to be named an All-American three times when earned the honor in 2012, 2013 and 2014. • Seven other players - Dallas Buck, Jonah Nickerson, Andrew Moore, Luke Heimlich, Nick Madrigal, Bryce Fehmel and Jake Mulholland - have been named an All-American in two different seasons. • Twenty players who competed under Casey have made an appearance at the Major League level, including a school-record 11 during the 2017 season. In 2017, the Beavers had nearly 30 former players compete at the professional level. • Two former Beavers - Jacoby Ellsbury in 2007 and 2011 and Andrew Susac in 2014 - have won World Series titles. A third former Beaver, Michael Conforto, played in the 2015 series and became one of the youngest players to ever homer in the World Series. A little more than one year prior, Conforto had finished his Oregon State career as one of the top offensive players in school history. • Oregon State players have been selected by MLB clubs in the draft a total of 116 times. Fifty-one of those 116 selections have come in the top nine rounds (44 percent). • Oregon State players have been named the Pac-10/12’s Most Valuable Player six times, the Defensive Player of the Year five times, the Freshman of the Year three times and the Pitcher of the Year three times. • Casey has guided Oregon State to the College World Series six times - 2005, 2006, 2007, 2013, 2017 and 2018. His clubs have gone 21-12 (.656). • In the postseason, Oregon State is 64-25 (.719) under Casey. His 64 wins represent better than 90 percent of the Beavers’ 69 all-time. • In 2013, the Beavers set a then school-record with 52 victories. Oregon State won its first of two consecutive Pac-12 titles, setting a conference record with 24 victories. • Oregon State followed the 2013 season with a nearly as impressive 2014 campaign. The 2014 club won 45 games, and claimed the Pac-12 with a 23-7 record. The 47 conference victories in back-to-back seasons are easily a Pac-12 record. • Since 2005, the first of a school-record 14 consecutive winning seasons, the Beavers have totaled 605 wins, the best mark in the conference. Oregon State has averaged better than 43 wins per season over that stretch, one of just two teams in the league to lay claim to more than 40 a year. • In conference play, since 2005, the Beavers have won 294 games, or more than 21 per season. That easily leads the conference over that stretch. • Casey has a winning record against all but two Pac-12 opponents. • He is the winningest coach in Oregon State Athleics history. Casey surpassed Jack Riley on May 25, 2012 to earn that distinction. • Oregon State has thrown four no-hitters since the 2007 season. Drew Rasmussen became the first pitcher in conference history to throw a perfect game in a league game on March 21, 2015 versus Washington State. He was the first pitcher from the conference to throw a perfect game against any opponent in more tha 40 years. • Four years prior, Josh Osich no hit UCLA (April 30, 2011). He was the first pitcher to no hit a fellow conference school in nearly 20 seasons. • In 2017 and 2018, Oregon State saw a school-record 16 players named to the Pac-12 All-Academic Team. Jack Anderson, KJ Harrison and Jake Thompson were named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District 8 First Team in 2017, followed by Anderson and Cadyn Grenier in 2018. Thompson later went on to become the sixth player in school history to be named an Academic All-American. Casey has not only developed talent on the field and in the classroom, but he’s helped make Goss Stadium at Coleman Field into one of the finest ballparks in the nation. • Prior to the 2017 season, Goss Stadium was named the 10th toughest park to play in for opposing teams. It earned the distinction in a vote by the nation’s coaches. • In 1999, Casey spearheaded the expansion of Goss Stadium from Coleman Field. The stadium saw increased seating, improved locker rooms and a full press box. • In 2009, Casey again spearheaded a further expansion of Goss Stadium. The stadium saw additional seating added down the first and third base lines, as well as the Omaha Room, the team’s classroom and a trophy room, celebrating the program’s history. • In 2015, thanks to a generous donation from Jacoby Ellsbury, the Jacoby Ellsbury Clubhouse was constructed down the third base line. It is considered one of the top clubhouses in the nation. • The team’s players also enjoy the the use of the Bert and Shirly Babb Players Lounge, located next to the Jacoby Ellsbury Clubhouse. A look at the Beavers’ six trips to Omaha under Casey. • The 2018 team was just the second to ever face six elimination games, joining the 2006 Bevaers. Oregon State, buoyed by three first-rounders and seven All-Americans, averaged better than 7.3 runs per game and tallied an NCAA record 93 hits en route to the title. • The 2017 team set a school-record with 56 wins and its .903 winning percentage tied for the fourth-best mark in NCAA Division I history. The club advanced to Omaha after going 5-0 in the first two rounds of the postseason. The Beavers posted two 23-game win streaks during the season and led the nation with a 1.93 ERA, which also set the school record. • The 2013 Oregon State team set a school record with 52 victories, advancing to the College World Series after defeating Kansas State in the Corvallis Super Regional. The Beavers finished with a 2.28 earned run average that season, the second-lowest mark nationally. • The 2007 club went 39-4 in non-conference games, including an incredible 11-1 record in the postseason. Oregon State trailed for just one inning in five games in Omaha. The Beavers won their last four games by at least six runs, the first team in CWS history to win four or more by at least six. • The 2006 Beavers were the first team to ever face six elimination games. And Oregon State became the first team to win the World Series despite losing two games in Omaha - once before taking 2-of-3 from North Carolina to claim the crown. The 2006 club set what was then a school record with 50 victories. • The 2005 Oregon State team won its first of two Pac-10 titles with a 19-5 record in league play. OSU won 46 games, a school record at the time. Casey won his first career postseason game that year, a 4-3 victory over Ohio State in the Corvallis Regional. Casey came to OSU after seven seasons at George Fox College, a NAIA school in his hometown of Newberg, Ore. Under Casey, the Bruins went 171-113-1 (.602) overall and were 155-54-1 against NAIA competition; they won three District 2 titles, five Metro Valley Conference titles and two Cascade Conference titles.</div> </div>
