When Nick Madrigal was evaluating his options to play baseball collegiately, he weighed two parameters heavily. He wanted to stay close to home in Elk Grove, Calif., and the opportunity to play against some of the top talent in the country within the conference. Oregon State and the Pac-12 became the perfect fit for the Chicago Cubs infielder. Those factors similarity influenced second baseman Nico Hoerner during his recruitment process that led the Oakland, Calif., native to Stanford. The Pac-12 historically has served as a pipeline to Major League Baseball as a dominant conference.
