CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State right-handed pitcher Ben Ferrer has been selected as a preseason Third-Team All-American by D1Baseball.com, which released its 2023 projections on Monday.

Ferrer, who transferred to Oregon State from USC Upstate prior to the 2022 season, went 4-0 with a 1.72 earned run average in 62 2/3 innings in his first season as a Beaver. He struck out 78 while holding opponents to a .176 batting average. He also recorded three saves in 24 appearances.

Those numbers earned Ferrer, an Alpharetta, Ga., native Third-Team All-American honors by both D1Baseball.com and Baseball America. He was also selected First-Team All-Region by the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) while being named to the All-Pac-12 Team.

Ferrer and the Beavers open the 2023 season Feb. 17 when taking on New Mexico in Surprise, Ariz. First pitch is slated for 11 a.m. PT (12 p.m. in Arizona).
