Oregon baseball is ranked in several polls ahead of the 2026 spring season. See where the Ducks landed before their season starts Feb. 13.
Fresh off its fifth straight NCAA Tournament appearance last spring, the Oregon baseball team is looking to build on its first season in the Big Ten.
The Ducks, who finished 42-16 and as champions of the conference during the regular season in 2025, have replaced most of the pitching staff from a year ago but return the strong bat of Springfield native Maddox Molony, who is a hot name among 2026 MLB Draft boards.
UO finished No. 16 in the USA Today Sports baseball coaches poll at the end of last season and debuted at No. 23 in the 2026 preseason poll.
Here's a look at the full rankings and where the Ducks are ranked by other major outlets before their season begins Feb. 13 against George Mason at PK Park.
