Oregon State pitching coach Rich Dorman joins Coaches Corner on the College Baseball Show to break down the Beavers’ return to Omaha, the challenges and benefits of navigating life as an independent, and what carries over into a loaded 2026 season. Dorman dives into Oregon State’s deep and talented pitching staff, the program’s long-standing pitching-and-defense identity, leadership within the locker room, strength and conditioning evolution, and how new facilities and pitching technology are shaping development in Corvallis. He also reflects on Beaver Nation, Goss Stadium’s home-field advantage, and the unfinished business driving this group forward as they chase another national championship.
