Patrick Michael Casey (born March 17, 1959) is an American college baseball coach who was the head coach for the Oregon State Beavers baseball team. He is best known for winning the 2006 College World Series for the Beavers' first-ever baseball National Championship. The following year, he led the Beavers to a repeat championship in the 2007 College World Series, the first unranked team in history to accomplish this feat. He retired from Oregon State after winning his third national championship in the 2018 College World Series.

Playing career

A three-sport athlete at Newberg High School, Casey attended the University of Portland where he played baseball as well as basketball.[1] In baseball, he was named to the All-Pac-10 Conference Northern Division first team in 1979 and 1980, and was drafted in the 10th round by the San Diego Padres in the 1980 Major League Baseball draft.[1] He played seven seasons in the minor leagues, first with the Padres organization from 1980 to 1984, then with the Seattle Mariners organization from 1985 to 1986 and finally the Minnesota Twins triple-A affiliate Portland Beavers in 1987.[2]

Coaching career

After his playing career ended, Casey became head baseball coach at George Fox University, where he earned his undergraduate degree in 1990, also playing basketball for the school while coaching baseball. In seven seasons at George Fox, his baseball team compiled a 171–114–1 record.[1]

In 1995, he was named head coach at Oregon State, where through the 2018 season, he had compiled a 900–458–6 record.[1] Casey focused on recruiting players from the Pacific Northwest.[3] He guided the Beavers to three straight 45+ win seasons, including back-to-back Pac-10 championships, six trips to the College World Series, and three national championships. He is the only coach in NCAA history to lead a team to the National Championship after playing in six elimination games, which he accomplished twice (in 2006 and 2018).[4][5] After winning the 2006 national championship, the program received its first ever number 1 ranking by all four college baseball polls. He was named the Pac-12 Coach of the year in 2005, 2006, 2011, 2013 and 2017,[6][7][8] and was named Baseball America Coach of the Year in 2006 and NCBWA Coach of the Year in 2017. In 2010, Casey was named Baseball America's Coach of the Decade for the years 2000–2009. On September 6, 2018, Casey announced his retirement from Oregon State.[9]

During his career, Notre Dame and Texas offered him the position of head coach, but Casey decided to stay at Oregon State.[10] [11]
