Josh Nati brings Aussie power and defensive versatility to Oregon State
In the 2026 season, freshman Josh Nati has been a small-sample spark for Oregon State: he played in eight games, made one start, and hit a pinch-hit two-run homer against Mercer in just his second collegiate at-bat. The 6-3, 219-pound right-handed INF/C offers real positional flexibility, and Oregon State specifically cited its culture and player development as part of his fit. He’s still early in his college arc, but the profile is intriguing: power, size, and catcher/infield utility from an experienced Australian baseball background. If you want a multi-position bat with upside, he’s worth the watch.
