The Oregon Baseball season came to an end on Sunday Night as the Ducks fell to the Texas Longhorns in the Austin Super Regional. The year was very promising for Mark Wasikowski's program as several young pieces developed into stars, and barring any major losses to the Transfer Portal, the Ducks should return a great core.
As the Ducks look to finally break through to Omaha under Mark Wasikowski, this year's Transfer Portal cycle will be pivotal. The roster will have talent capable of going on a run to the College World Series, but adding a few big pieces will be the determining factor of just how far this team goes. MLB Draft declarations could create new holes for the Ducks to fill, but as things currently sit just days after the end of the season, the roster is in a great place.
Oregon Ducks baseball additions from the Transfer Portal
Carter Johnstone - Infielder - Vanderbilt
After a breakout freshman season at Fullerton, Carter Johnstone transferred to Vanderbilt for the 2026 season. Johnstone appeared in 18 games for the Commodores with 12 starts, including a start on Opening Day at 2nd base. Johnstone struggled at the plate this season with an average of just .143 after hitting .344 the year prior. The Ducks are getting a versatile infielder who can play 1st base, 2nd base, and 3rd base, and he could be a high upside addition if he can return to his freshman form at the plate.
Oregon got a first hand look at Carter Johnstone this Spring when the Ducks faced Vanderbilt in the Las Vegas Classic.
Oregon Ducks losses to the Transfer Portal
As things currently stand, the Oregon Ducks haven't had any players announce their intentions to enter the Transfer Portal. As the week progresses and the staff meets with players, there will likely be departures to track.
