Despite a successful season that saw them ranked as high as No. 1 and selected to host the first round of the 2019 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament, the Beavers were eliminated from the first round of the Corvallis Regional. For the first time in 24 seasons, the team was led by someone other than head coach Pat Casey, who retired from Oregon State following their  third national championship under his stewardship.

On June 13, 2019, Mitch Canham, former All-American and player on the 2006 and 2007 national championship teams, was hired as head coach . Roster. = Injured Major League Baseball Draft.
