Any time Harrison Bodendorf attended Major League Baseball games during his youth, he found himself in repetition. Residing in Temecula, California, the Bodendorf family was within driving distance of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Anaheim Angels, San Francisco Giants and Oakland Athletics. But the shortest drive was to San Diego. Harrison and his parents, David and Cheryl, became regulars. Padres legends Will Myers and Justin Upton were fixtures of his childhood.

The final stretch of the college baseball regular season is underway. Three weeks out of NCAA Tournament selection day, Oklahoma State is in unfamiliar territory, sitting on the outside looking in amid the race for an at-large regional bid.

6 days ago | ocolly.com | Daniel Allen

His pitchers claim him to be “The Wizard” for a reason. For 13 years, Rob Walton has manned Oklahoma State baseball’s pitching staff, developing, molding and producing a handful of stellar arms — Thomas Hatch, Justin Wrobleski, Justin Campbell, Victor Mederos and Peyton Battenfield. This season, however, hasn’t been as easy to maneuver as ones in recent years.

Two former Oklahoma State football quarterbacks have found new homes. Garret Rangel, a redshirt junior from Frisco, Texas, announced Wednesday that he is transferring to Virginia Tech. Rangel has two seasons of eligibility remaining after spending three seasons in Stillwater. In 2024, Rangel made a start against BYU and was a spark for the Cowboys. He went 6-of-9 passing for 51 yards and a touchdown and broke off a 54-yard run but suffered a broken collarbone on that play.

As the throw from Brayden Smith collided with the webbing in Colin Brueggemann’s glove at first base to record the game’s final out, Brueggemann pumped his left fist. A frenzy of roars erupted from the stands at O’Brate Stadium. Players and fans sporting orange and black attire knew the reality of the situation and comprehended its magnitude.

In OSU baseball's 12-0 win against UCF, Brock Thompson showed he's starting to blossom

1 week ago | ocolly.com | Daniel Allen

Harrison Bodendorf rarely watches games from the dugout when he’s not pitching. Normally, the Oklahoma State baseball pitcher spends offensive frames pacing the dugout and mentally preparing himself for his next inning of work to complement his dominant outings, which have become routine for the junior lefty, as shown in a seven-strikeout, eight-inning performance in a 12-0 series-opening win against UCF on Friday at O’Brate Stadium. Thus, Bodendorf often misses his teammates' at-bats.

Every time Sean Youngerman takes the mound, he can be seen rubbing his neck. Not for the sake of superstition. Not merely from force of habit. But rather as an homage to a loved one, commemorated by one of the Oklahoma State pitcher's most prized possessions. A gold chain. Dangling from the chain he rubs is a No. 64 pendant adorned with bijou diamonds scattered across, with the diamond from his mother Eileen Youngerman’s wedding ring ingrained at its central point.
