OSU Begins National Search for Baseball Coach
Director of Oregon State Athletics Scott Barnes addressed the Beaver Nation in a letter. The letter states that during the past nine months the university left open the possibility of the return of Pat Casey to the role of Head Baseball Coach. Barnes stated in his address that he had hoped that Casey would reconsider after taking time to decompress and be away from the everyday grind of leading the team. Barnes applauded the job that interim coach Pat Bailey did this year considering the injuries and members lost to last years MLB draft. Barnes says the university will begin a national search for a new head coach.
