PAT CASEY
Head Coach
15th Season At OSU (503-312-4)
22nd Season Overall (674-425-5)

#
In 15 seasons at Oregon State, Casey has taken the Oregon State
program and made it into one of top programs in the nation. He has taken
the Beavers to three College World Series, won two national titles, claimed
the Pacific-10 Conference twice and has seen nine different players earn
All-America honors. For his work, Casey has been named National Coach
of the Year by multiple organizations on multiple occasions.
Now in his 15th season with Oregon State, Casey has guided the
Beavers to a 503-312-4 record. Oregon State will be in its fourth NCAA
Regional in five years. Casey and Oregon State finished the 2009 regular
season with a 35-17 record, placing in the top 25 of the five major polls
for a majority of the season.
Casey has now guided Oregon State to 13 winning seasons and 10
years with 30 or more wins.
In the past five seasons, Casey has guided the Beavers to 208 victories, which is second in the Pac-10. During that same stretch, Casey’s
clubs have won 71 conference games, which is the second-most among
division clubs.
In that five-year stretch, six players have earned All-America honors
while 13 players have been recognized as All-Pac-10 performers. That
includes two league Most Valuable Player awards and two Defensive Player
of the Year selections.
In 2008, Casey and the Beavers went 28-24 and missed out on the
postseason. But the Beavers played perhaps their most ambitious schedule
in school history and took series from five schools that earned either No.
1 or No. 2 seeds in NCAA Regionals. Oregon State posted a 5-5 record
against College World Series teams, taking 2-of-3 in separate series against
Arizona State and Georgia.
Casey also saw his team have seven selections in the MLB First-Year
Player Draft, giving the club 24 over the past three seasons, a program
record.
Last season, Casey made marks on the program, literally. He spearheaded a fundrasing campaign to expand Goss Stadium, adding nearly
1,000 permanent seats, a stadium suite, new player’s lounge, academic
room and Hall of Fame room. The additions transformed Goss Stadium
from one of the best in the West into one of the nation’s finest collegiate
stadiums.
In 2007, Casey, his staff and the team’s players worked hard to build
team chemistry, coming together at the right time for a second-straight
national championship. Oregon State went an incredible 39-4 in nonconference games, including an 11-1 mark in the postseason. After losing
their second game at the Charlottesville Regional, the Beavers went on a
dynamic run, winning their last 10 games -- including five in Omaha -- to
claim the national title.
“Not only did Oregon State become only the fifth school and the first
in 10 years to repeat as national champions, but it also did it in dominating
fashion. The Beavers won all five of their CWS games and trailed in only
one of the 45 innings they played here,” wrote ESPN.com’s Mark Schlabach from Omaha.
“And Oregon State won it all again when it wasn’t even supposed to
be here.”
That title has thrusted Oregon State including NCAA baseball lore.
The Beavers became just the fifth program to win back-to-back national
titles, joining Texas (1949-50), USC (1970-74), Stanford (1987-88) and
LSU (1996-97).
For his ability to mold the Beavers into the nation’s finest, Casey was
again recognized as a national coach of the year, this time by Collegiate
Baseball and the American Baseball Coaches Association. The honors
comes a year after Casey was the consensus national coach of the year in
leading Oregon State to its first title.
That 2006 title was just as special, as the Beavers became the first
program from the Pacific Northwest to the NCAA Division I College World
Series.
The 2006 Beavers had a storybook season, capped by a run through the
CWS that saw them win six elimination games in Omaha to win the national
championship. After being beaten by Miami (Fla.) in its opening game, OSU
won four straight - including back-to-back shutouts of top-ranked Rice - to
reach the championship series. In the best-of-three finals against North
Carolina, OSU lost the opening game and trailed by five runs in the second
game before rallying for wins of 11-7 and 3-2 for the title.
Oregon State’s 50-16 season set a school record for wins for the second straight season, and the Beavers refuse-to-lose style of play captured
the hearts of not only those watching in Omaha, but college baseball fans
across the nation.
After the 2006 season, Oregon State signed Casey to a new 10-year
contract to guarantee his future in Corvallis. Casey had become an attractive candidate for coaching vacancies at a number of high-profile schools
given the Beavers’ amazing success.
In retaining Casey, Oregon State instantly kept its most successful
coach in Corvallis. It also allowed the Beavers to have the knowledge they
have one of the most recognized coaches in the nation. In 2006, after
winning the team’s first title, was Casey was recognized as the National
Coach of the Year by Collegiate Baseball, Baseball America and American
Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA).
In 2005, he was named the Pac-10’s Coach of the Year after guiding
the Beavers to their first of two straight conference titles. He earned the
honor again in 2006 with the second title. In both years, he was recognized
as the ABCA’s West Region Coach of the Year.
With back-to-back titles comes increased exposure. For the second time
under Casey’s tenure, Oregon State has expanded the Beavers’ home field,
and both times, Casey has been a driving force behind the renovations.
In 1999, Oregon State expanded what is now known at Goss Stadium
at Coleman Field, adding increased seating, improved locker rooms and
a full press box.
And Casey and the Beavers have rewarded the fans with increased
chances to watch the team play. In each of their three College World
Series years, the Beavers played a super regional at venerable Goss, and
it has paid off. Oregon State has gone 6-1 at super regionals in Corvallis,
defeating USC, Stanford and Michigan.
In 2005 and 2006, Casey earned both the Pacific-10 Conference and
NCAA West Region Coach of the Year honors for guiding the Beavers to
back-to-back Pac-10 championships and berths in the CWS.
Since Casey became Oregon State’s head coach prior to the 1995
season, the Beavers have moved into a prominent position on the national
scene.
OSU has had players earn spots on the USA Baseball national team
four times, earn All-America honors 11 times, and had players taken in the
top 10 rounds of the Major League Baseball draft 22 times - including
first-rounders Jacoby Ellsbury in 2005 and Kunz and Canham in 2007.
Ellsbury became Oregon State’s first former player to win a Major League
World Series when he and the Boston Red Sox won their second title in
four seasons in 2007.
In 2005, OSU had been picked to finish sixth in the Pacific-10 in the
annual coaches poll; Casey guided the Beavers to the Pac-10 championship
and the College World Series. OSU’s 46-12 record was a school record
for wins in a season, the Beavers’ No. 7 finish in the the final polls was
Oregon State’s highest ever, and OSU’s No. 2 ranking during the season
was the highest it had ever climbed in the national rankings.
Casey was also named Co-Coach of the Year in the Pacific-10 Northern
Division for the 1997 season, and the Beavers have set numerous school
records during Casey’s time at OSU.
Casey was instrumental in the drive to build Goss Stadium at Coleman
Field, the 1999 renovation to Oregon State’s longtime ballpark. The OSU
head coach was heavily-involved in fundraising for the $2.3 million project; when the go-ahead was given for construction, he had a hand in the
ballpark’s design to assure that it would be one of the most user-friendly fa-
• 2009 Oregon State Baseball
cilities in college baseball. In 2002, the ballpark also received its first set of lights for night play.
For the 2007 season, a new scoreboard with video replay capabilities and a new FieldTurf
infield were installed at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field. In all, Casey has been a guiding force
in each step of renovation at Goss, and those improvements have made the picturesque ballpark
one of the finest in the nation and in the Pac-10.
Oregon State hired Casey in the summer of 1994, asking him to follow in the large footsteps
of Jack Riley, who retired after 22 seasons as head coach.
Most of the key players from OSU’s 1994 Northern Division pennant-winning team had graduated, but Casey’s first season saw the Beavers battle to a winning record of 25-24-1 in 1995. That
set the stage for one of the finest three-year runs in the long history of baseball at Oregon State.
In 1996, the Beavers posted a 32-16-1 record and went into the final weekend of the season
with a chance to win the Pac-10 Northern Division pennant. In 1997, Oregon State set a school
record for wins in the regular season with a record of 38-12-1 and took postseason hopes into
the final weekend.
In 1998, Oregon State broke into the national rankings for the first time in four years and went
35-14-1. The season included series sweeps of Arizona, which was ranked in the top 10 at the
time, and UCLA.
In 2001, Oregon State again made a strong bid for the postseason, finishing with a 31-24
record. OSU had five wins over teams ranked in the final Baseball Weekly/USA Today coaches poll
of the regular season and had a 10-9 record against schools selected for the NCAA Regionals.
In 2004, OSU’s 7-0 start was the school’s best in 42 years. That team had a then-school-record six players selected in the MLB draft and another signed as a free agent, and it set the stage
for the magic of 2005 and 2006.
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.
During his time at George Fox, Casey was named Coach of the Year three times in District 2,
four times in the Metro Valley Conference and twice in the Cascade Conference.
Casey earned his bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from George Fox in 1990. He
played for the University of Portland from 1978-80 and was a first-team All-NorPac Conference
outfielder his final two seasons. He was a second-team All-Region selection in 1980. He also
lettered in basketball one season.
After being drafted in the 10th round by the San Diego Padres in 1980, Casey played seven
professional seasons. He reached Class AAA with the Calgary Cannons in 1985-86 and the
Portland Beavers in 1987.
After concluding his professional playing career, Casey took over George Fox’s baseball program; while coaching the baseball team, he also played basketball for the Bruins while completing
his degree.
Casey, 49, was born in McMinnville, Ore. He graduated in 1977 from Newberg High, where
he starred in football, basketball and baseball.
Casey enjoys fishing, camping and spending time with his family. He and his wife, Susan,
have four children - Jonathan (22), Brett (21), Ellie (17) and Joseph (10); Brett is currently playing
baseball for OSU and has also played basketball for the Beavers.

Pat Bailey is in his second season as an assistant coach at Oregon State
after spending 12 seasons at George Fox, winning a Division III national
title with the Bruins in 2004.
Bailey has made an impact with the Beavers in 2009, mentoring newcomers Jared Norris (.333) and Adalberto Santos (.317) to strong seasons
while guiding Ryan Ortiz (.343) to a second straight strong season.
Bailey, 51, compiled a 353-158 record and earning National Coach
of the Year honors after that 2004 national title. He was also named the
Northwest Conference Coach of the Year eight times.
During Bailey’s tenure, the Bruins won or shared eight Northwest Conference titles. George Fox advanced to the NCAA tournament six times and
to the NAIA playoffs twice before moving to the NAIA.
George Fox did not have a losing season during Bailey’s time at the
school, and he is the winningest baseball coach in the school’s history. The
Northwest Conference shifted from the NAIA to the NCAA in 2000, and
since then the Bruins rank among the nation’s top 20 schools at that level
in wins with a 215-94 record.
In 2004, Bailey’s team became the first George Fox squad in any sport
to win an NCAA national championship. The Bruins went 40-10 overall,
setting a new single-season record for wins and tying the record for best
winning percentage at .800.
After tying for the 2004 NWC title, George Fox earned an at-large bid to
the NCAA tournament. The Bruins swept through four games at the NCAA
West Regional in Orange, Calif., and then posted a 5-1 record at the Division
III World Series in Appleton, Wis., beating Eastern Connecticut State 6-3
in the championship game. All nine of George Fox’s postseason wins came
against nationally ranked teams, and four of its five wins in the World Series
were against pitchers who were first- or second-team All-Americans.
Seven of Bailey’s George Fox players have signed professional contracts, including five members of the national championship team. His players
earned 10 All-America honors and four Academic All-America honors.
Bailey has served as a rater on the NCAA Division III National Baseball
Committee, which makes the selections for the NCAA tournament each
year. At George Fox, he was also associate director of athletics, director
of the Bruin Athletic Association for athletic support, chair of the school’s
Sports Hall of Fame committee, and a teacher in the Department of Business and Economics.
Prior to arriving at George Fox, Bailey had been the head coach at West
Linn High School in West Linn, Ore., for 10 years. The Lions reached the
state championship game in his final season and made the semifinals on
two other occasions; he was named league coach of the year four times.
He stepped away from West Linn in 1992 to serve as the pitching coach
at the University of Portland.
At West Linn, Bailey was also an assistant football coach and taught
business courses. In 1994, he was named to Who’s Who Among America’s
Outstanding High School Teachers; in 1995, he was one of 30 outstanding
educators honored with a Education Excellence Award given by Associated
Oregon Industries.
Bailey earned his business education degree from the University of Idaho
in 1978 and his master of education degree in educational administration
from the University of Oregon in 1983. Bailey earned two letters in baseball
at Idaho and was the team captain; he began his college career with two
years at North Idaho College.
Bailey graduated in 1974 from Moscow (Idaho) High School, where
played football, basketball and baseball, being named the baseball team’s
Most Valuable Player.
Bailey and his wife, Susan, have two children: son Alex, who played
baseball for George Fox in 2003; and daughter Ann, a student at George
Fox.
Now in his eighth season at Oregon State, assistant coach Marty Lees
has made an impact with the Beaver program.
Lees has been responsible for the team’s defense for a majority of his
tenure at Oregon State, and in each of those years, it has been a significant
reason for the Beavers’ success. This year was no different as Oregon
State finished with .976 fielding percentage, placing in the top three of the
Pac-10 for the entire season and in the top 10 nationally.
During Oregon State’s two national title runs and three straight visits to
the College World Series, pitching and defense have been at the forefront.
Lees has charged with overseeing the Beavers’ defense. And in 2007, the
former Western Oregon pitcher added on the title of recruiting coordinator
and watched as the Beavers incoming recruiting class was named third-best
nationally by Baseball America and Collegiate Baseball.
The team’s 2009 recruiting class, under Lees’ first full year as recruiting
coordinator, was much heralded with four players in Baseball America’s
top 100 high school players signing with the Beavers.
In 2007, en route to its second straight national title, Lees’ defense made
school history for the third straight year. The Beavers posted a .977 fielding
percentage -- second in the Pac-10 and second nationally -- just a year after
posting a then-school record mark of .975. In 2005, Oregon State finished
the season with a .969 fielding percentage, then a program best.
During that time, the Beavers have also increased their ability at turing
two. In 2005, Oregon State turned 52 double plays. In 2006, that number
jumped up to 62, while in 2007, the Beavers turned 69. In 2007, the team
ranked 22nd nationally with 1.03 double plays turned per game
From 2005 through 2007, five starting OSU infielders who were eligible
to turn professional were either selected in the Major League Baseball draft
or signed free agent contracts with MLB teams - first basemen Andy Jenkins
and Bill Rowe, second baseman Chris Kunda, shortstop Darwin Barney
and third baseman Shea McFeely. Barney was a fourth-round selection by
the Chicago Cubs in the 2007 Major League Baseball Draft.
The Pac-10 began its Defensive Player of the Year award in 2006,
and the initial recipient was Kunda. The shortstop in 2005 and 2006,
Darwin Barney, was named the Pac-10 Freshman of the Year in 2005 and
was selected to Team USA, the United States national team that plays an

NATE YESKIE
RON NORTHCUTT
Assistant Coach
1st Season At Oregon State
Director Of Operations
21
#
Nate Yeskie is in his first season as an assistant coach with the Beavers,
and the veteran collegiate coach and professional pitcher will oversee the team’s
pitching staff in 2009.
He has made an immediate impact with the Beavers’ young pitching staff
as the club finished the regular season with a 3.69 earned run average. He
mentored a number of pitchers who brought down their ERAs from a year and
took under his wing freshman Sam Gaviglio, who ended the regular season with
nine wins, which led the club.
Yeskie brings three years of collegiate coaching experience and five years as
a pitcher in Minor League Baseball, reaching as high as Double-A New Britain
with the Minnesota Twins organization.
Yeskie last served as the pitching coach at his alma mater, UNLV, from 2005
to 2007. During his tenure with the Runnin’ Rebels, Yeskie mentored eight players
who earned either an All-Conference or All-Tournament Team selection. In 2005,
Yeskie’s staff helped enable UNLV to win the Mountain West Conference regular
season, the MWC Tournament and earn a berth to the Tempe Regional.
In 2006 and 2007, Yeskie’s staff accomplished two feats that found themselves in the UNLV record books. Late in the season against UC-Irvine, UNLV
tied a single-game school record with 15 strikeouts. Then in 2007, Kevin Skogley tied the school’s individual single-game strikeout record with 15 against
San Diego State.
Six UNLV pitchers were selected by Major League Baseball clubs in Yeskie’s
three seasons, while another signed as an undrafted free agent.
Prior to returning to UNLV as a coach, Yeskie spent five seasons in the
Minnesota Twins Minor League system, reaching as high as Double-A New
Britain. He finished with a 27-24 record and 4.91 earned run average over the
five seasons. Yeskie went 11-7 with Fort Wayne of the Midwest League in 1997,
recording 111 strikeouts in 165 1/3 innings of work. In 2000, his last season,
the La Crosse, Wis., native went 4-1 in 21 appearances.
In the 1999 offseason, Yeskie played for the Grand Canyon Rafters of the
Arizona Fall League. The AFL was established by in 1992 by Major League
Baseball and is a league often reserved for the top professional prospects.
During his time in professional baseball, Yeskie worked with MLB veterans
Bert Blyleven and Mel Stottlemyre, Jr., and former pitching coach Billy Connors,
who once held the position of Director of Player Personnel with the New York
Yankees.
Yeskie came to the Twins organization after being drafted in the ninth round
of the 1996 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. Minnesota selected
the right-hander after he finished his UNLV career with a 22-12 mark, including 16 complete games. In 1996, he was the starting pitcher in the Big West
Championship Game, helping UNLV to defeat Long Beach State, 11-2, earning
a berth into the NCAA Tournament.
In 1994, 1995 and 1996, Yeskie made five Team USA Olympic Trial appearances. He was also rated as the sixth-best MLB Draft prospect entering
his junior year at UNLV.
A three-year letterwinner, his 147 strikeouts in 1995 still stand as UNLV’s
single-season record. The mark was also fifth-best nationally that season, and
coupled with his nine complete games – which led the Big West Conference
– earned him First-Team All-Big West and First-Team All-Region honors.
Yeskie was drafted in the sixth round of the 1993 draft by the Los Angeles
Dodgers after a stellar high school career at Carson High, one that saw him set
a number of school records. En route to earning first-team All-America honors
in 1993, he finished with a 12-0 record and a school record for strikeouts in a
season (158) and strikeouts in a game (20).
In 1993, as a senior, he was named a Baseball America First-Team AllAmerican. That same year he was the Nevada Player of the Year and a First-Team
All-State pitcher, a distinction he was also given as a junior in 1992. Yeskie also
got his first taste of Team USA Baseball in high school. In 1992, he played for
Team USA at the Area Code Games in San Jose, Calif., and at the Goodwill
Series in Seoul, Korea.
Ron Northcutt is in his fourth season as Director of Baseball Operations and eighth overall with the Oregon State baseball program. Prior to
his tenure as Director of Baseball Operations, Northcutt served as a pitching coach for four seasons.
As Director of Operations, Northcutt plays a large role in the team’s
travel, camp operations and any day-to-day needs of the Oregon State
baseball team.
Northcutt came to Oregon State in 1994 and served as the team’s
pitching coach through the 1998 season. While overseeing the staff, his
pitchers led the Pac-10 North Division in Earned Run Average in 1996
and 1997.
DREW GEORGE
Undergraduate Assistant Coach
Former Oregon State third baseman and 2007 National Champion
Drew George returns to the Beavers for the 2009 season as an undergraduate assistant coach.
George came to Oregon State prior to the 2007 season from Lower
Columbia Community College and won a nationatl title with the Beavers in
his first season. He ended his two-year Oregon State career having played
in 94 games, 81 of which were starts. He batted a career-best .322 in
2008, his senior season, and ended his OSU tenure with a .292 average,
18 doubles, three triples and four home runs.
In 2008, George became one of just a few players in Oregon State
history to homer from both sides of the plate in the same game when he
did so against San Diego State.
BRADEN WELLS
Undergraduate Assistant Coach
Former Oregon State outfielder and 2007 National Champion Braden
Wells returns to the Beavers as an undergraduate assistant coach this
season.
Wells patrolled the outfield for the past two seasons for head coach
Pat Casey, showing versatility. He played in 88 games the past seasons
and had the capability to play all three outfield positions. As a junior, in
helping the Beavers to a national title, Wells hit .277 with four doubles
and 15 walks while stealing 11 bases in 14 attempts. He finished his OSU
career with a .263 batting average in 12 postseason games.
