Anyone familiar with college baseball in Oregon – or nationally, for that matter – knows all about Pat Casey (B90).

It came as no surprise, then, that the former Â鶹´«Ã½ Fox head coach was inducted into the National College Baseball Hall of Fame in Overland Park, Kansas, in February. It was a fitting bookend to a career that included three NCAA Division I national championships – with Oregon State University, in 2006, 2007 and 2018 – and 900 victories.

In addition to three national titles, Casey guided the Beavers to three straight 45-plus win seasons, including back-to-back Pac-10 championships, and six trips to the College World Series. The Beavers are one of just two programs nation­ally with three titles this century, and his 900 victories rank sixth all-time in Pac-12 history.

All told, Casey amassed a 1,071-572-7 (.651) record in 31 seasons as a collegiate head coach, including a 171-113-1 (.602) mark in his seven seasons at Â鶹´«Ã½ Fox (1988-94), where he won six conference championships and three NAIA District 2 titles, and qualified for three NAIA regional competitions.
