College World Series and Postseason - Oklahoma State University Athletics

Oklahoma State's legacy of excellence on the diamond has been one of the mainstays of college baseball for decades. OSU won the 1959 national championship, and has appeared in the championship game six times.

The Cowboys have made 20 trips to the College World Series, which ranks fifth all-time. Gary Ward's teams dominated the Big Eight Conference, capturing an NCAA-record 16 consecutive league crowns from 1981-96. The Cowboys won a record 23 Big Eight championships from 1953-96.

The Cowboys have seen a return to national prominence since Josh Holliday returned to Stillwater to helm the program he once played for. The Pokes won the 2014 Big 12 Championship and have hosted two regionals and one super regional under Coach Holliday. In 2016, Oklahoma State returned to Omaha and the NCAA College World Series for the first time since 1999, and were just one win away from appearing in the championship series.
