Seattle to Corvallis
Isaac came to Oregon State as a Washington transfer with three years of Division I experience — a slider and a two-seamer already in his arsenal, and a strikeout rate that had climbed every single season. The stuff was always elite — the environment just needed to catch up.
Under the coaching staff in Corvallis, he didn't just refine what he had — he added a four-seam fastball, transforming from a two-pitch reliever into a legitimate multi-weapon arm. His command tightened, the slider became a true swing-and-miss out pitch, and a 4th-year senior became one of the most dominant relief arms in college baseball.
