Three former Oregon State Beavers baseball players have been selected to play in the 2026 MLB All-Star Game.
Travis Bazzana, Drew Rasmussen and Adley Rutschman will represent their respective teams in the contest July 14 in Philadelphia. It's the second straight year three former Beavers earned a nod as Oregon State's stamp on professional baseball continues to be among the most impactful in the country.
Bazzana, a rookie second baseman for the Cleveland Guardians, will make his first MLB All-Star appearance in his first season in the majors. The first overall pick of the 2024 MLB Draft, Bazzana made his big-league debut in April and has quickly become a staple in the Guardians' lineup and one of the most impactful second basemen in the American League.
The 23-year-old Australian boasts a .244 batting average in 225 at-bats through the 2026 season, hitting seven home runs and 26 RBIs in the process. He's stolen 12 bases. Defensively, Bazzana has made just five errors in 59 games for a .976 fielding percentage.
Bazzana spent three seasons in Corvallis with the Beavers from 2022-24 and collected as many individual accolades as any other player throughout his tenure. The former first-team all-American, Golden Spikes Award finalist and Pac-12 Player of the Year has continued his upward career trajectory through the Guardians' organization and has been awarded with his first major league all-star appearance for his work.
