Eugene Regional Preview
This regional feeds the Chapel Hill bracket, so the survivor likely heads east for a best-of-three with North Carolina. That incentive adds urgency, since Oregon or Arizona could host Super Regional action if the Tar Heels stumble. Weather projections call for dry conditions and light winds through Sunday, an advantage for offenses that already boast gaudy power numbers.
Oregon Team Preview
The Oregon Ducks pace this pod in both RPI and national respect. Mark Wasikowski’s lineup slugs .526 and piles up baserunners thanks to 300 walks. Six everyday hitters own an OPS north of .900, led by outfielder Mason Neville who crushed 26 homers with a 1.178 OPS. First baseman Jacob Walsh adds a .336 average, 19 bombs and a .444 on-base clip, while freshman Maddox Molony has chipped in 15 homers.
The pitching staff has emerged as a national talking point thanks to ace left-hander Grayson Grinsell. He enters regional play at 9-3 with a 2.62 ERA, 99 strikeouts, and an opponent average of .197. Oregon allows just .217 hitting overall and owns a staff ERA of 3.97, which could improve at home during regional play.
Cal Poly Team Preview
Cal Poly returns to regional play for the first time since 2015 and brings one of the nation’s most balanced lineups. Cal Poly bats .319 as a unit with 129 doubles and 55 homers. Zach Daudet tops the order at .371 with 7 homers and a 1.077 OPS, while Ryan Fenn follows closely at .368 and thrives in run-manufacturing situations with 15 steals. Seven different hitters have at least 30 RBI, which makes matchup relief choices tricky for opposing coaches.
On the mound, right-hander Griffin Naess anchors the rotation at 7-2 with a 3.38 ERA across 88 innings. The bullpen leans on fireman Jake Torres, who owns 4 saves and a 3.28 ERA, complemented by Josh Morano and his 2.16 ERA. Cal Poly’s team ERA is 4.78 and they have posted a sparkling 18-9 road mark, showing no fear of travel.
Arizona Team Preview
Chip Hale’s Arizona Wildcats ride an offense that can ambush anyone in the first inning. Brendan Summerhill leads the attack at .386 with a 1.133 OPS, 10 stolen bases, and elite barrel accuracy. Aaron Walton supplies added power with 10 homers, and Mason White (.330) is a cornerstone of the lineup. Arizona averages 6.5 runs per game and will look to do damage at the plate this weekend. The Wildcats’ pitching has improved since April. But two of their three high-volume starters have ERAs above 4.00, which could be an issue late in the weekend.
Utah Valley Team Preview
The Utah Valley Wolverines punched their ticket by taking down Abilene Christian in an 11-9 thriller, capping a four-game win streak that turned a near-.500 season into a trip to the tournament.
Offensively, Utah Valley depends on a relentless trio. Jayden Smith checks in at .403 with 79 hits, slugger Landon Frei has 16 homers and 73 RBI, and catcher Mason Strong sits at .376 with 64 RBI. The Wolverines swipe bags at an 80% clip thanks to 114 steals, highest in the regional. Pitching remains the swing factor. The staff ERA is 6.44, and opponents bat .285 against them. Those numbers could spell trouble for the Wolverines.

2025 Eugene Regional Prediction
The recommendation is Oregon -210 to win the regional. Additionally, look for over 10.5 runs in Friday’s Arizona-Cal Poly opener. Both teams mash doubles and neither staffs an elite bullpen for early-tournament relief work.
Final score forecast: Oregon 8, Arizona 4 in Sunday’s championship game, ending the bracket without a Monday game and punching the Ducks’ Super Regional ticket.
