Team Bio[edit]
The Corvallis Knights debuted in the West Coast League in 2007, moving to Corvallis, OR from Gresham, OR where they played as the Aloha Knights. The Knights play their home games at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field at Oregon State University. They have won seven WCL championships and in 2019 were named Summer Collegiate Team of the Year by Perfect Game.
The Corvallis Knights are like every other summer college baseball team in that they are designed to provide minor league-style competition for NCAA players that wish to continue on into professional baseball. The Knights operate in a manner similar to an independent minor league team: playing nightly before fans in stadiums which seat thousands, using wood bats and minor league specification equipment, and experiencing road trips between games. The Corvallis Knights actively recruit players, and have hosted collegiate athletes from throughout the United States and Canada. Like all other summer collegiate players, athletes are unpaid in order to maintain their NCAA eligibility, and live with host families in the same manner as Single A and Independent League players.
- All games are broadcast on 990 AM
