Pike was the 561st pick in the 2025 MLB Draft, selected by the Washington Nationals in the 19th round.
According to Perfect Game, Pike is a top-50 player in the 2025 high school class and is ranked as the second-best player from the state of Washington.
He is considered a unique high school prospect. Pike is primarily a switch-hitting, two-way player who plays shortstop in the field.
During his senior season at Puyallup High School, Pike had a .482 batting average and posted a 0.84 ERA in 66 ⅔ innings on the mound.
The talented two-way prospect from Washington is an integral part of Oregon State’s 2025 recruiting class, which ranks 18th in the country according to Perfect Game.
Pike is one of two top-100 recruits in the Beavers’ class. The other is Xavier Neyens, who was the fifth-best player in the 2025 high school class.
Unlike Pike, Neyens signed with the Houston Astros organization after being drafted in the first round.

They will be an independent team once again, as the Beavers look to return to the NCAA Tournament in 2025.
