Engelbrekt Named A Senior CLASS Award Candidate

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – Oregon State redshirt senior Max Engelbrekt has been named one of 30 candidates for the 2017 Senior CLASS Award for baseball, it was announced Monday.

Engelbrekt, who is pursuing his Master of Business Administration, is the only player to be named to the list from the Pac-12 Conference, and one of just two from the West Coast. A left-handed pitcher, he graduated last year with a finance degree.

To be eligible for the award, which is given annually, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and "have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition."

The 30 candidates will be narrowed down to 10 finalists midway through the regular season.

Engelbrekt is 1-0 with a 1.23 earned run average in seven relief appearances this season. He has allowed just one hit over 7 1/3 innings, striking out 10.

Beavers Are No. 1
Oregon State finds itself ranked No. 1 in five of the six polls: D1Baseball.com, Baseball America, Perfect Game, College Baseball and the USA Today Coaches Poll. The National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) has yet to announce its rankings for the week.

Prior to the 2017 season, Oregon State was last ranked No. 1 during the 2014 season.

Oregon State has been ranked in the top 25 at least one week in every season since the team's 2005 campaign.
