Pat Casey (b. 1959 in McMinnville, Oregon) is 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. Despite losing all but two starters on the team and being selected last in the NCAA College World Series bracket, he led the Beavers to a repeat championship in the 2007 College World Series, the first unranked team in history to accomplish this feat.

Playing career

A three-sport athlete at Newberg High School, Casey attended the University of Portland where he played baseball as well as basketball.cite web|url=http://www.osubeavers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=24962&SPID=1962&DB_OEM_ID=4700&ATCLID=130969&Q_SEASON=2006|title=Pat Casey|publisher=OSUBeavers.com|accessdate=2007-06-26] 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. He played seven seasons in the minor leagues, including the Beaumont Golden Gators, the Calgary Cannons and the Portland Beavers.

George Fox

After his playing career ended, Casey became head baseball coach at George Fox University, where he would earn his undergraduate degree in 1990. In seven seasons at George Fox, he compiled a 171-113-1 record.

Oregon State

He was named head coach at Oregon State in 1995, where through the 2007 season, he had compiled at 440-271-4 record. He has guided the Beavers to three straight 45+ win seasons, including back-to-back Pac-10 championships, three trips to the College World Series, and two national championships. He is the only coach in NCAA history to lead a team to the National Championship after playing in six elimination games. 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-10 Coach of the year in both 2005 and 2006, and was named Baseball America Coach of the Year in 2006.

After his national championship season in 2006, the University of Notre Dame offered him a position as head baseball coach for $300,000 a year. He eventually turned them down, signing a 10-year, $230,000 a year renewal deal with the Beavers.
