The 2021 Oregon State Beavers baseball team represented Oregon State University in the 2021 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Beavers played their home games at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field and were members of the Pac-12 Conference. The team was coached by Mitch Canham in his 2nd season at Oregon State. The previous season was indefinitely suspended 14 games into the season after the NCAA abruptly canceled all winter and spring season tournaments, including the College World Series, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]

Season synopsis[edit]

The Beavers entered the season unranked and picked to finish 4th in the Pac-12 Conference coaches preseason baseball poll.[3]

Jake Mulholland passed Kevin Gunderson for most saves in Oregon State history when he threw his 38th career save in a 2–1 win against California.[4]
