May 20, 2025 | Cowboy Baseball
IRVING, Texas – Oklahoma State's Harrison Bodendorf highlights the list of Cowboys to earn All-Big 12 recognition for the 2025 season.
Bodendorf was named the 2025 Big 12 Co-Newcomer of the Year, sharing the award with Arizona State's Matt King, and the junior southpaw also earned a spot on the All-Big 12 First Team.
Also collecting all-conference honors for the Cowboys was Sean Youngerman, who was named to the All-Big 12 Second Team both as a starting pitcher and as a reliever.
Five Cowboys were named Honorable Mention All-Big 12, with Colin Brueggemann, Ian Daugherty, Mario Pesca, Nolan Schubart and Brayden Smith making that list.
A native of Temecula, Calif., who transferred to OSU after spending his first two seasons at Hawaii, Bodendorf is the sixth OSU player to earn Big 12 Newcomer of the Year honors, joining Tyler Mach (2006), Zach Johnson (2011), Matt Kroon (2018), Christian Encarnacion-Strand (2021) and Tyler Wulfert (2023).
Bodendorf has been dominant as OSU's top weekend starter in 2025, compiling a 10-1 record and 2.43 ERA in 15 appearances, 14 of those starts. His 10 wins leads the Big 12 and are the most by a Cowboy pitcher since 2019; the win total also ranks fourth nationally, two behind the NCAA leader.
In 81 1/3 innings of work, Bodendorf has racked up 96 strikeouts, which ranks fourth in the Big 12. He has worked at least five innings in 11 of his 14 starts (one of those was shortened due to rain), including tossing a 10-inning complete game at Arizona.
Opponents are hitting just .194 against Bodendorf, which ranks second in the league, and he is also tied for second in the conference in ERA.
In conference play, Bodendorf started 10 games and finished with a 6-1 record and 2.20 ERA while posting 69 strikeouts in 61 1/3 innings.
Youngerman has also been dominant on the mound in his first season in an OSU uniform, shining whether starting or coming out of the bullpen.
In 19 appearances, five of those starts, Youngerman is 3-1 with a team-high four saves and a 2.08 ERA. The righty has tallied 54 strikeouts and issued only six walks in 47 2/3 innings.
Youngerman posted a 3-1 record and 2.14 ERA to go along with a save in nine Big 12 appearances, four of those as a starter.
Brueggemann is enjoying his best year in his final season with the Cowboys. The senior first baseman is hitting .312 with 11 doubles, 14 home runs and 51 RBIs, all of which rank second on the team.
A starter in all 49 games, Brueggemann owns a .603 slugging percentage and is now a three-time all-conference performer after earning second-team honors in each of the last two seasons.
Daugherty is also in his final collegiate season and has been a mainstay behind the plate, starting 37 games for the Cowboys. He sports a .264 batting average to go along with 10 doubles, six homers and 21 RBIs.
Another pitcher in his first season in Stillwater, Pesca has filled a variety of roles on the pitching staff. In 19 appearances, seven of those starts, the right-hander is 6-2 with a 3.64 ERA.
Pesca emerged as a weekend starter over the final five weeks of the season and posted four wins in Big 12 play. He is 4-1 with a 2.58 ERA on the year as a starter.
Schubart has continued to stake his claim as one of the top sluggers in OSU history. The junior is hitting .288 and leads the Cowboys with 17 home runs and 53 RBIs. His 17 round trippers rank third in the conference as do his 44 walks.
An All-Big 12 selection each of the last two years, Schubart ranks fourth on OSU's career chart with 57 home runs.
In his first season in Stillwater, Smith leads OSU with a .313 batting average and 14 doubles to go along with 10 homers and 36 RBIs.
Smith hit a team-high .343 in Big 12 play and also led the Cowboys in doubles (9), slugging percentage (.627) and on-base percentage (.424) in league games; his 23 RBIs was second.
