Paige Bambarger has become Oregon State’s steady infield spark with sneaky pop
In the 2026 season, Paige Bambarger looked like a dependable two-way glue piece for Oregon State: she hit .289, started 30 of 35 games in the infield, tied for the team lead with three triples, and even added a homer in a win over Seattle U[4]. After starting all 47 games at second base as a freshman in 2025, she earned WCC All-Freshman honors and showed real consistency, plus a 5-for-5 stolen-base mark and strong middle-infield defense[1][3].
