Oregon just did something most programs take years to accomplish: they won the Big Ten Conference in their first season. 42-16 overall. 22-8 in conference. Hosted an NCAA Regional at PK Park in front of record crowds.Mason Neville led the entire country with 26 home runs. Mark Wasikowski proved he's one of the nation's top coaches (SEC programs tried hiring him away). And the Ducks showed that West Coast baseball can compete with—and beat—the Midwest's best.
Here's what makes Oregon special for the right athlete: you get Big Ten competition that prepares you for anything, West Coast weather and lifestyle, Nike-backed facilities that rival anyone in the country, and a coach who's built five straight NCAA Tournament teams with two Super Regional appearances.
Oh, and you get to play in Eugene: one of the best college towns in America.

Why This Matters Now
The Momentum is Real: Oregon isn't hoping to compete—they're winning championships. First year in the Big Ten and they own it. That's the kind of program confidence that attracts top talent.
2026 and Beyond: They're recruiting off a conference championship, record attendance, and national recognition. If your athlete wants to be part of something on the rise, this is it.

About Alex
Meet your college baseball recruiting specialist: Alex Swenson.
As a high school baseball player, I navigated the college recruiting process all on my own. Despite average statistics, I landed a spot on a Division-1 baseball team Jacksonville University, where I became a 3-time team captain. Post-college, I became a D1 coach, scout, and recruiter at Georgetown University and Ole Miss, where we won an SEC championship.
After experiencing the process as both recruit and recruiter, I’ve successfully dissected the best strategies to connect with college coaches and draw offers from them.
