OSU defeated Arkansas in three games as Kevin Abel threw a complete-game shutout, striking out 10 in the championship game to set a new CWS record with four victories. The Beavers went 11-2 overall in the NCAA Tournament, including a perfect 6-0 in CWS elimination games, to claim the Conference's record 29th NCAA baseball title. Pac-12 baseball teams have reached the CWS title series in four of the last seven years (Oregon State 2018; Arizona 2016, 2012; UCLA 2013), eight of the last 15 years, and 12 of the last 20 years. Four Pac-12 teams earned NCAA Tournament berths. No. 2 seed STANFORD and No. 3 seed Oregon State both hosted NCAA regionals for the second-consecutive year and were joined in the field by UCLA and WASHINGTON. It marked the eighth time since the NCAA began the national seeding format in 1999 that the Pac-12 secured multiple top eight seeds, including only the second time with national top four seeds (2001). The Huskies advanced to the Super Regionals for the first time in program history and went on to make their first College World Series appearance. The trips to Omaha for OSU and UW marked the 100th and 101st all-time CWS appearances for current Pac-12 members, and the 66th time in the 72- year history of the event that at least one Conference member has reached the CWS. Stanford was crowned the 2018 Pac-12 Champion, finishing with a 22-8 league mark to earn the program's 18th Conference title and first since 2004. It claimed its 34th all-time postseason appear- ance, tied for the 10th-most in NCAA history (1954-present). The Conference amassed many postseason honors, including Oregon State's Pat Casey being tabbed ABCA National Coach of the Year and Collegiate Baseball's National Coach of the Year, and the Beavers' Luke Heimlich earned National Pitcher of the Year by the College Baseball Foundation. Heimlich recorded the most wins in the country with 16 and set a school-record 159 strikeouts that finished second nationally. OSU junior Cadyn Grenier won the Brooks Wallace Award, presented annually to the nation's top-collegiate shortstop and California's Andrew Vaughn earned the Golden Spikes Award as the nation's top amateur baseball player. 49 Pac-12 student-athletes were selected in the MLB Draft with all 11 programs having at least one player drafted. Beavers' Nick Madrigal was the No. 4 overall pick for the highest draft selection in program history. Stanford had two players selected in the first round and leads the NCAA with 25 first- round selections since the first MLB Amateur Draft began in 1965.
