Rankings from D1Baseball

Preseason

The Beavers were ranked in the preseason Top-25 by only three of the six major poll organizations and were picked to finish third in the Pac-12 preseason coaches poll despite ending the prior season ranked 10th in the final D1 poll.[3] The team lost 18 players from the 2022 squad, including Major League Baseball 1st round pick and National Pitcher of the Year Award winner Cooper Hjerpe, but signed one of the top recruiting classes in the nation.[4]

Regular season

Following a three-game sweep of Coppin State, Trent Sellers was named the Pac-12's Pitcher of the Week and Gavin Turley was selected as conference Player of the Week.[5]

Mitch Canham reached his 100th win as head coach on March 7th in a win over San Diego, becoming the fifth Beaver head coach to reach that milestone.[6]
