INTRODUCTION

Hawks Field at Haymarket ParkThe Home of the Husker Baseball Program

Since. its. opening. in. 2002,. Hawks. Field.at.Haymarket. Park. has. been.one.of. college.baseball’s.best.ballparks..Set.on.32.acres.one-half.mile.west. of. campus. near. downtown,.the. complex. combines. private. and. public.entities,.giving.the.University.of.Nebraska.and.the.City.of.Lincoln.a.one-of-a-kind. facility. for.the.Huskers. and. the. Lincoln. Saltdogs.of. the.American.Association.of.Independent.League.Professional.Baseball.

On. July. 30,. 1999,. the. University. of.Nebraska,. the. City. of. Lincoln. and. NEBCO.Inc.,. announced.plans. to. construct. two.new.stadiums,.an.8,500-seat.ballpark.for.the.Husker.baseball.program.and.the.Saltdogs.–.marking.professional.baseball’s.return.to.the.Star.City.for.the.first.time.in.40.years.–.and.a.2,500-seat.softball.stadium.located.next.door.

Building. a. complex. for. the.Huskers,. as.well.as.the.Saltdogs,.whose.season.runs.from.Memorial.Day.to.Labor.Day,.required.leadership.and.a. forward-thinking. vision. from.all. three.entities..The.$29.53.million.cost.was.primarily.divided. between. the. city,. NEBCO. and. the.University.with.additional.sources.contributing.for.the.rest.of.the.project.

In.March. of. 2000,. Howard. and.Myrna.Hawks. guaranteed. UNL’s. commitment. to.the. baseball/softball. project,. enabling. the.University. to.move. forward.on. the. complex.on.schedule...An.avid.supporter.of.the.Husker.baseball.program,.Myrna.Hawks.never.had.the.opportunity.to.see.the.finished.product,.as.she.passed.away.on. Jan..24,.2001.. In.her.honor,.the.playing.surface.was.named.Hawks.Field.in.

February.of.2002.and.was.formally.dedicated.on. April. 28,. 2002,. before. a. doubleheader.against.Kansas.

“She.was. a. baseball. fanatic,”. Howard.Hawks.said.of.his.wife.of.45.years..“She.went.to.baseball.games.before.we.were.married,.but.I.know.that.after.we.were.married,.she.never.went.to.a.game.where.she.didn’t.keep.score.

“She.felt.you.didn’t.really.know.what.had.happened.if.you.didn’t.know.how.this.guy.hit.last.time,.and.how.they.pitched.to.him,.so.she.kept.track.of.all.those.things.”

The.DLR.Group.was.hired.to.be.the.principal.designer.of.the.ballparks,.as.well.as.the.plaza.

INTRODUCTION

2010 Season OutlookMotivated Huskers Look to Return to NCAA Tournament

For.the.Nebraska.baseball.program,.the.seeds.of.the.2010.season.were.planted.on.May.18,.2009.

After.making.the.NCAA.Tournament.nine.times.in.the.last.10.years,.last.year’s.25-28-1.record.left.a.bitter.taste.for.those.associated.with.the.Husker.program..For.eighth-year.coach.Mike.Anderson,.it.also.created.a.hunger.for.2010.

“There.is.no.question.how.motivated.this.team.is.entering.the. season,”.Anderson. said.. “They.have.had.a. full. year.with.a.pretty.bad. taste. in. their.mouth..We.have.had.pretty.high.standards.in.this.program.over.the.last.10.years,.and.our.players.are.committed.to.helping.us.return.to.that.level.”

The.positive.momentum.began. to.build. in. the. summer,.as.Mike.Nesseth. and. Adam.Bailey. both. turned. down. the.opportunity.to.play.professional.baseball.and.return.to.Nebraska.for.this.season..It.continued.in.August,.as.the.Huskers.welcomed.a.recruiting.class.that.was.among.the.nation’s.best.and.featured.a.trio.of.pitchers.who.had.been.previously.selected.in.the.top.20.rounds.of.the.draft.

“I.think.this.is.the.best.class.we.have.gotten.to.campus.since.I’ve.been.here,”.Anderson. said.. “Not.only. in. the.number.of.players.brought.into.our.program,.but.the.quality.and.character.of.those.players.”

The. newcomers. fortified. a. group. of. 18. returning.letterwinners,.which. is. the. second-highest. total. this.decade..That.group.of. returnees. includes.five.of. the.Huskers’. top. six.starting.pitchers,.as.well.as.eight.position.players.who.started.at.least.20.games.a.year.ago..

“We.are. going. to. rely.on.our. veterans. to. carry. the. load.early,”.Anderson. said.. “It. is. important.not.only.because. they.have.experience.and.know.what.to.expect,.but.also.to.help.our.younger.players.get.used.to.the.speed.of.competition.”.

Offensively,. the.Huskers.have.a.solid.nucleus. returning. in.All-Big.12.first.baseman.Tyler.Farst,.as.well.as.Bailey,.Kyle.Bubak.and.DJ.Belfonte..Farst.hit..333.with.36.RBIs,.while.Bailey.batted..325.with.team-bests.in.both.homers.(12).and.RBIs.(50)..Belfonte.and.Bubak.can.both.hit.at.the.top.of.the.lineup.and.have.the.speed.to.generate.runs..They.will.also.key.a.Husker.defense.that.

should.be.strong.up.the.middle..“Anytime.you. return. three.of. the. top. four.hitters. in.your.

lineup,. it. gives.you.a.great. foundation.offensively,”.Anderson.said..“The.goal.for.us.is.to.find.that.balance.where.we.are.able.to.put.pressure.on.opponents.from.1-9.in.the.order.”

While.the.Huskers.return.most.of.their.pitching.staff,.player.development.will.be.paramount,.as.Pitching.Coach.Eric.Newman.tries.to.strike.a.balance.between.the.veterans.and.a.group.of.newcomers.who.see.opportunities.to.contribute.early.in.their.Husker.careers.. .Newman.said.this.group.has.the.potential.to.be.his.best.staff.at.NU.

“While.we.will.need.Mike.Nesseth.and.Sean.Yost.to.play.a.major.role.for.us.to.be.successful,. it. is.equally.important.that.players.like.Michael.Mariot,.Casey.Hauptman.and.some.of.our.freshmen.develop,”.Newman.said.. “If. this. staff.pitches. to. its.ability,.we.could.be.one.of.the.better.staffs.in.the.league.”

PitchersIt. is.a.mixture.of.veterans.and.newcomers.on.the.Husker.

pitching. staff,.as.Newman.begins.his. third. season.as.pitching.coach..The.Huskers.not.only.return.nine.pitchers.who.combined.for.nearly.80.percent.of.NU’s.innings,.starts.and.wins.last.season,.but.welcome.12.pitchers.into.the.fold..In.all,.five.of.the.Huskers’.top.six.pitchers.are.back,.as.they.combined.for.41.of.the.Huskers’.54.starts.in.2009..

“One.of.the.strengths.will.be.the.depth.and.talent.of.our.staff,”.Newman. said.. “I.was. really.encouraged.with.what.we.did.in.the.fall..We.were.consistently.around.the.strike.zone.and.working.at.a.good.pace.on.the.mound..

“The.other.thing.I.saw.was.the.commitment.that.our.older.players.had.of.bringing.our.newcomers.along.and.helping.them.develop.during.the.fall.”

One.of.the.veterans.with.an.important.role.is.junior.Mike.Nesseth..The.hard-throwing.right-hander.went.5-4.with.a.pair.of.saves.in.20.appearances,.leading.NU.in.wins,.saves.and.strikeouts.in.2009..A.15th-round.pick.of.the.Los.Angeles.Angels.of.Anaheim,.Nesseth.elected.to.return.to.NU.for.his.junior.year.and.will.anchor.the.Husker.bullpen..

“Mike.was.not. satisfied.by.his. team.or.his. performance.and.that. is.a.big.reason.he.decided.to.return,”.Newman.said..“He.wants. to.pitch. in. a. significant. role.on.a. team. that.does.special.things..He.has.been.one.of.our.leaders.since.the.end.of.last.season..He.learned.a.lot.in.the.Cape.Cod.League.over.the.summer.and.implemented.those.things.in.the.fall..He.could.have.a.special.season.”

With.Nesseth.in.the.closer.role,.the.Husker.starters.could.be.a.mixture.of.returnees.and.newcomers..Entering.the.spring,.the.group.of.Sean.Yost,.Michael.Mariot,.Casey.Hauptman,.Jordan.Roualdes,. Kurt.Giller. and.Tom.Lemke.are.poised. to. give. the.Huskers.a.solid.group.of.starters.”

Sophomore.Sean.Yost.is.one.pitcher.who.the.Huskers.will.look. to. this. spring..The.6-foot-6. right-hander.was.2-5.on. the.season,.but.pitched.well.down.the.stretch..He.was.1-1.with.a.2.28.ERA.in.his.final.four.Big.12.starts,.including.a.complete-game.shutout.over.Baylor.in.his.final.start.of.2009..Yost.continued.his.strong.showing.over.the.summer,.earning.Northwood.League.All-Star.honors..

“We.gave.Sean.an.opportunity. to.pitch.and.develop. last.year,.and.you.could.see.the.confidence.he.gained.because.of.it,”.Newman.said..“He.pitched.well.enough.to.keep.us.in.games.last.year,.and.now.needs.to.be.someone.who.can.go.out.and.give.us.6-7.innings.every.start.”

Mariot.also.saw.time.as.a.starter.and.in.the.bullpen.a.year.ago..He.went.2-2.in.19.appearances,.highlighted.by.seven.innings.of.one-run.ball.against.Cal.State.Northridge..He.comes.off.a.strong.summer.in.Beatrice,.where.he.went.3-3.with.a.3.13.ERA.and.was.the.No...9.prospect.in.the.M.I.N.K..League.by.Baseball.America.

“Michael.has.improved.tremendously.over.the.summer.and.during.the.fall.with.both.his.velocity.and.command,”.Newman.said..“He.pitched.in.a.lot.of.big.games.for.us.last.season,.and.that.experience.helped.his.growth.on.the.mound.and.should.pay.dividends.this.spring.”

Hauptman.has.the.ability.to.fill.multiple.roles.on.the.Husker.staff..He.worked.as.a.starter.and.middle.reliever.last.year,.ranking.second.on.the.team.with.four.wins.and.finishing.third.with.62.2.innings.pitched..

Mike Nesseth returns to anchor the Husker bullpen. The junior right-hander led Nebraska in wins (five), saves (two) and strikeouts (73) in 2009, and returns after being selected in the 15th round of the 2009 MLB Draft.

Sean Yost emerged as a Big 12 starter in 2009, earning a spot in the Huskers’ weekend rotation.

INTRODUCTION

“The. first. thing. you. notice. about. Casey. is. his. physical.development. from. last. year.at. this.time,”.Newman.said.. “He.has.gotten.a.lot.stronger.and.that.has.helped.his.velocity.and.his.durability..If.he.pitches.like.he.did.in.the.fall,.he.will.be.one.of.the.guys.we.will.look.to.on.weekends.”

Roualdes.is.the.other.veteran.starter.back.this.season,.as.he.went.4-4.in.12.appearances..He.led.NU.with.11.starts,.tied.for.second.on.the.team.in.wins.and.ranked.fourth.with.59.2.innings.a.year.ago...The.only.left-hander.in.the.group,.he.may.be.slowed.early.after.undergoing.minor.knee.surgery.and.could.work.as.a.starter.or.in.the.bullpen.

“Jordan.will.play.an.important.role.for.us,.whether.as.a.starter.or.a.reliever,”.Newman.said..“He.is.a.great.change.of.pace.from.the.other.arms.on.our.staff,.and.is.able.to.create.a.lot.of.ground.balls.with.his.pitches..He.has.made.a.lot.of.improvement.over.last.year.and.our.goal.is.to.get.him.healthy.”

Lemke.and.Giller.highlight.a.talented.group.of.newcomers.who.will.play.a.key.role.in.NU’s.success..A.10th-round.draft.pick.by.the.Texas.Rangers,.Lemke.was.a.first-team.all-state.performer.in.Arizona.last.season.after.going.5-2.with.87.strikeouts..He.was.a.four-year.starter.who.went.25-9.with.a.2.01.ERA,.striking.out.333.in.193.2.career.innings.

Giller.was.a.21st-round.draft.pick.by.the.Toronto.Blue.Jays.after.putting.together.a.dominant.high.school.season.in.Kansas..He.went.5-2.with.a.1.52.ERA,.fanning.83.and.allowing.just.24.hits.over.41.1.innings.to.earn.Louisville.Slugger.All-America.honors.

“Tom.and.Kurt.have.the.stuff.to.pitch.on.weekends.for.us.this.season,”.Newman.said..“Our.goal.is.to.find.roles.where.they.can.develop.throughout.the.season.”

While. the. two. freshmen.will. be. looked. to. bolster. the.rotation,. junior. college. transfers.Chase.Adams,.Ryan.Hughes.and.Khris.Tate.join.junior.Matt.Freeman.and.sophomore.Nate.Kerkhoff.to.form.the.nucleus.of.the.bullpen..

Adams.comes.of.NU.after.helping.Howard.College.to.a.63-1.record.and.a.national.title.last.spring..He.went.4-0.with.a.3.10.ERA.in.2009,.fanning.33.over.29.innings...Hughes.is.a.wild.card.with.a.lot.of.potential,.as.he.threw.just.26.innings.in.junior.college..At.6-7,.245-pounds,.the.left-hander.was.a.13th-round.selection.in.the.2008.MLB.Draft.by.Arizona..Tate,.who.began.his.collegiate.career.as.a.shortstop,.spent.the.last.two.seasons.at.Weatherford.College,.going.4-3.while.fanning.41.over.52.1.innings.last.season..

Freeman.made.14. appearances. in. the.bullpen. last. year.before.undergoing.season-ending.surgery.in.April..A.former.state.player.of. the.year,. the. right-hander.may.have.been. the.most.

improved.pitcher.on.the.staff.in.the.fall.and.will.help.in.middle.and.short.relief...Kerkhoff.was.one.of.four.freshmen.who.saw.time.on.the.mound.a.year.ago..A.crafty.left-hander,.he.went.1-0.in.16.outings.and.fanned.14.over.18.innings.of.work..He.will.likely.work.in.the.same.role.this.season.

Giller.and.Lemke.headline.a.group.of.nine.freshmen.pitchers,.all.of.whom.could.find.their.way.into.the.mix..The.class.includes.a.trio.of.in-state.standouts.in.Tyler.Neiderklein,.Dylan.Vogt.and.Chris.Williams,.while.Luke.Bublitz,.Nick.Dolsky,.Ryan.Hander.and.Zach.Hirsch.are.all.out-of-state.products.who.bring.impressive.credentials.to.the.program.

Bublitz.was.a.one.of.the.top.prospects.in.Colorado,.compiling.a.9-3.record.with.121.strikeouts.during.his.prep.career.despite.missing.all.of.2009.with.an.injury..Dolsky.was.rated.as.the.top.high.school.senior.in.Minnesota.by.Baseball.America.last.season,.but.was.limited.to.11.1.innings.because.of.an.injury..Both.players.are.healthy.and.participated.in.fall.drills..

Hander.was. the. third.Husker. recruit.who.was. drafted.last. spring,. as. he.was. a. 39th-round. selection. by. the. Los.Angeles.Dodgers..He.posted.a.3.10.ERA.and.averaged.nearly.two.strikeouts.per. inning.as.a. senior.. .Hirsch.was.an.all-state.performer.in.Illinois,.going.5-2.with.a.1.15.ERA.last.season..He.allowed.just.39.hits.in.55.innings.and.totaled.66.strikeouts,.but.underwent. season-ending.elbow.surgery.prior. to. the. season.and.will.redshirt.in.2010.

Neiderklein.has.been.one.of.the.state’s.top.pitchers.for.the.past.two.years.at.Millard.West.High.School,.helping.the.Wildcats.to.a.pair.of.state.tournament.appearances..He.was.5-2.with.a.2.35.ERA.in.2009,.recording.53.strikeouts.in.just.51.innings.of.work..Vogt.comes.to.NU.after.earning.all-state.honors.at.Millard.South.High.School..He.compiled.a.6-3.mark.with.a.1.97.ERA.on.the.mound,.as.he.was.also.one.of.the.best.infielders.in.the.state..Williams.was.a.first-team.all-state.performer.as.a.senior,.going.9-1.with.a.1.63.ERA..The.right-hander.led.Omaha.Westside.to.a.state.title,.going.2-0.with.a.pair.of.complete.games.in.the.state.tournament.

One. pitcher. the.Huskers.will. be.without. this. season. is.sophomore.Kash.Kalkowski,.who.went. 1-2. in. 19. games. last.season.. He. underwent. season-ending. shoulder. surgery. in.September.and.will.look.to.be.ready.for.the.2011.campaign.

CatcherOne.area.of.strength.for.the.Huskers.will.be.behind.the.plate,.

as.Nebraska.returns.sophomore.Cory.Burleson.and.adds.junior.

college.All-American.Patric.Tolentino.to.the.lineup..“I.feel.that.our.catching.situation.is.as.good.as.it.has.been.in.

a.few.years,”.Anderson.said..“Both.bring.a.lot.to.the.table.with.leadership.and.the.way.they.handle.a.pitching.staff..They.are.neck.and.neck.entering.the.start.of.practice.and.we.will.probably.go.with.the.one.who.is.hot.at.the.time.”

Burleson. split. time.behind. the.plate. last. season,. hitting..275.with.eight.RBIs. in.24.starts..His.24.starts.were.the.most.by.a.Husker. freshman.catcher. in.nearly. two.decades,.and.he.totaled.eight.multi-hit.games,. including.a. four-hit.day.against.Sam.Houston.State..He. came.back. in. the. fall. as.one.of.NU’s.most.improved.players.and.is.fully.healthy.after.arm.surgery.as.a.high.school.senior..

“I.think.Cory.gained.a.lot.of.confidence.last.year,”.Anderson.said..“His.arm.strength.is.much.better,.and.he.is.a.good.defensive.catcher..Offensively,.he.worked.on.his.plate.discipline.and.may.have.been.our.most.improved.player.from.the.end.of.last.season.”

Tolentino.comes.in.with.impressive.credentials.in.the.junior.college.ranks,.spending.two.seasons.at.Redwoods.CC..He.was.a.second-team.All-American.last.year,.hitting..435.with.11.homers.and.63.RBIs..He.comes.from.baseball.bloodlines,.as.his.father,.Jose,.played.in.the.Majors.Leagues.and.was.a.starter.on.Texas’.1983.CWS.team..

“I’m. excited. about. Patric’s. potential,”. Anderson. said..“Offensively,.he.is.very.smart.player.who.can.drive.in.runs.and.showed.power.to.the.gaps..Defensively,.he.quickly.earned.the.respect.of.his.teammates.with.his.work.ethic.and.leadership.”

First BaseArguably,. the.Huskers’. deepest. position. is. first. base,. as.

Nebraska.returns.All-Big.12.performer.Tyler.Farst.and.backup.Cade.Thompson..In.addition,.freshmen.Josh.Scheffert.and.Kurt.Farmer.may.also.earn.playing.time.at.the.spot..

“With.Tyler.and.Cade.back,.it.gives.us.a.lot.of.options.at.the.position,”.Anderson.said..

Farst.put. together.a. solid. campaign,.posting.a. team-high..333.batting.average.with.three.homers.and.36.RBIs..He.topped.NU.in.five.categories,.including.hits,.runs.scored.and.doubles,.while.totaling.19.multi-hit.games..He.was.even.better.in.Big.12.action,.hitting..384,.as.he.finished.among.the.league.leaders.in.batting.average.(fourth),.hits.(38,.fifth).and.on-base.percentage.(.442,.sixth)..

“The.biggest.thing.for.Tyler.is.he.got.stronger.in.the.offseason.and.showed.the.ability.to.hit.for.more.power.in.the.fall,”.Anderson.said..“He.brings.a.proven.bat.to.the.lineup.and.is.someone.we.think.can.be.a.significant.run.producer.for.us.”

Thompson.played.a.reserve.role.in.his.first.year.at.NU,.hitting..217.with.a.homer.in.26.games..He.was.primarily.used.as.a.pinch.hitter,.leading.the.Huskers.with.three.pinch.hits,.while.providing.a.strong.defensive.presence..Thompson.also.worked.in.the.outfield.during.the.fall.in.hopes.of.earning.more.playing.time.

“We.saw.the.strides.Cade.made.after.having.a.year.in.our.program,”.Anderson.said..“The.game.started.to.slow.down.for.him,.and.he.also.added.20.pounds.which.has.helped.with.his.bat.speed..I.think.he.is.going.to.surprise.some.people.this.year.”

Scheffert. and. Farmer. are. a. pair. of. infielders.who. could.see.spot.duty.at.the.position,.as.both.Farst.and.Thompson.are.seniors..Both.players. could.push. for. significant.time.at.other.spots.on.the.field..

Middle Infield While.Nebraska.looks.to.replace.both.of.its.starting.middle.

infielders.from.last.year,.the.Huskers.have.some.experience.with.the.return.of.Kale.Kiser.and.Kyle.Bubak,.both.of.whom.saw.a.lot.of.playing.time.in.2009..Freshmen.Kurt.Farmer.and.Bryan.Peters.both.bring. impressive.credentials. into.the.program.and.could.factor.into.the.picture..

Kiser.backed.up.MLB.Draftee.Jeff.Tezak.at.second.in.2009,.hitting..208.with.a.pair.of.homers.and.nine.RBIs.in.26.games..A. former. all-state.performer. in. Texas,. he. is.more.noted. for.

Tyler Farst earned honorable-mention All-Big 12 honors after hitting .384 in league action. In Big 12 play, he finished among the league leaders in batting average (fourth), hits (38, fifth) and on-base percentage (.442, sixth).

INTRODUCTION

his.offensive.production,.but.has.worked.hard.to.make.strides.defensively..With.a.year.under.his.belt,.the.switch-hitting.Kiser.is.ready.to.become.a.full-time.performer.this.spring..

“Kale. is.much. improved. defensively. over. last. year. and.gives.us.someone.who.can.switch.hit.with.some.power. from.the.left.side,”.Anderson.said..“He.also.has.a.very.good.feel.and.understanding.of.the.game.”

Bubak. is. the.most. experienced. of. the.Huskers’.middle.infielders,. starting.37.games. last.season.between.both.spots..He.was.the.Huskers’.leadoff.hitter.for.a.good.portion.of.the.year,.batting..275.with.35.runs.scored..His.calling.card.was.his.defense,.as.he.fielded.at.a..975.clip.in.league.play,.and.will.be.counted.on.for.his.leadership.this.season..

“Kyle.is.very.steady.for.us,.as.he.will.make.all.of.the.routine.plays.and.has.the.ability.to.make.the.spectacular.play,”.Anderson.said..“He.gives.us.a.lot.of.versatility,.as.he.is.a.switch.hitter.who.can.effectively.play.either.middle.infield.spot.”.

Farmer.was.one.of.the.best.infielders.in.the.state,.earning.all-state.honors.in.each.of.the.past.two.years..The.Columbus,.Neb.,.product.led.the.state.with.a..568.batting.average.and.44.RBIs.in.2009.

.He.possesses.excellent.size.and.strength.and.how.he.handles.the.shift.from.high.school.shortstop.to.second.base.in.the.college.ranks.will.determine.his.impact.

Peters.was.one.of.the.top.players.in.the.region,.leading.Rocky.Mountain.(Colo.).High.School.to.three.consecutive.state.titles.in.baseball..He.was.the.Gatorade.Player.of.the.Year.in.baseball.in.2009,.hitting..398.with.nine.homers.and.27.RBIs.while.also.going.7-0.on.the.mound..He.had.a.strong.fall,.but.suffered.an.orbital.bone.fracture.in.the.days.before.practice.started..His.recovery.will.determine.his.contributions.for.the.upcoming.season.

Third BaseOne.of.the.luxuries.the.Huskers.have.enjoyed.is.stability.at.

the.hot.corner,.and.the.emergence.of.Cody.Asche.last.year.paved.the.way.for.a.smooth.transition.from.four-year.performer.Jake.Mort..Asche.will.be.challenged.by.freshman.Josh.Scheffert,.as.the.position.may.feature.two.of.the.Huskers’.best.young.hitters..

“Coming.into.the.fall,.I.thought.this.would.be.a.dogfight.to.see.which.one.would.play,”.Anderson.said..“Cody.has.really.been.impressive.both.offensively.and.defensively,.and.Josh.is.someone.whose.bat.could.be.difficult.to.keep.out.of.the.lineup.”

Asche.enjoyed.a.solid.rookie.campaign,.hitting..290.with.a.homer.and.21.RBIs.while.playing.in.43.contests..The.freshman.totaled.eight.multi-hit.games,.and.proved.to.be.a.clutch.hitter,.

batting.over. .300.with. 13.of. his. 21.RBIs. coming. in. two-out.situations...He.saw.time.at.both.third.base.and.DH.last.year,.but.will.enter.the.spring.as.the.front.runner.at.third..

“Cody.is.one.of.the.most.improved.defensive.players.we.have.had.in.recent.years,.and.his.work.ethic.is.off.the.charts,”.Anderson.said..“Offensively,.he.carries.himself.with.a.quiet.confidence.at.the.plate..We.think.he.is.someone.who.we.can.put.in.the.middle.of.the.lineup.and.let.him.put.together.a.strong.season.”

Scheffert.was.one.of.the.state’s.premier.players.at.Lincoln.Southeast,.the.same.alma.mater.as.Major.Leaguer.Alex.Gordon..Scheffert.was.co-captain.of. the.all-state.team.in.2009,.hitting..416.with.32.RBIs.while.also.drawing.17.intentional.walks..He.also.pitched.at.Southeast,.going.6-2.with.a.0.96.ERA.as.a.senior.

“Josh.brings.a. lot. to.the.table,”.Anderson.said..“He.has.a.lot.of.power.potential,.even.as.a.freshman,.and.has.great.work.habits..We.thought.he.had.a.great.fall.and.his.bat.is.so.valuable.that.we.think.he.can.play.both.corner.infield.spots.or.even.the.outfield.just.to.find.ways.to.get.him.in.the.lineup.”

return.four.of.their.top.five.outfielders.from.a.year.ago,.including.starters.DJ.Belfonte.and.Adam.Bailey..NU.also.welcomes.back.sophomores.Boomer.Collins.and.Khiry.Cooper,.and.adds.a.pair.of.talented.freshmen.in.Chad.Christensen.and.Pat.Hirschberg.

“We.have. a. good. combination.of. youth. and.experience.among.our.outfielders,”.Anderson.said..“DJ.and.Adam.give.us.two.veteran.players.who.can.hit.near.the.top.of.the.lineup,.and.Boomer.and.Khiry.are.a.lot.better.with.a.year.of.experience.under.their.belts..We.have.some.options.in.the.outfield,.which.has.not.always.been.the.case.”

Bailey.will.be.one.of.the.cornerstones.in.the.Husker.lineup..Last.season,.the.junior.college.transfer.hit..325.with.12.homers.and.50.RBIs,.leading.the.Huskers.in.homers,.RBIs.and.slugging.percentage.(.598)..Bailey.totaled.17.multi-hit.games.and.hit.a.team-best..395.with.runners.in.scoring.position.in.2009..He.was.drafted.in.the.38th.round.last.year,.but.elected.to.return.to.NU.for.his.senior.year.

“There. is. a. reason. that.Adam.came.back. for. this. year,”.Anderson. said.. “Adam.wants. to.help. this. club.make. it. to. the.postseason,.and.he.wants.to.play.a.major.role.in.our.success..He.showed.the.ability.to.drive.in.runs.last.year.and.understands.what.it.takes.to.be.an.elite.hitter.at.this.level..We.hope.we.can.put.him.third.in.the.lineup.and.let.him.go.”

Belfonte.is.the.veteran.of.the.Husker.roster,.as.he.is.a.three-

year.starter.in.the.outfield..The.speedster.is.on.pace.to.become.just. the. second.Husker. to. lead.Nebraska. in. stolen.bases. for.three.straight.years..Last.year,.he.hit..256.with.a.pair.of.homers,.26.RBIs.and.34.runs.scored,.pacing.the.Huskers.in.stolen.bases.(nine).and.triples.(three)..He.is.also.the.Huskers’.best.defensive.outfielder.who.has.great.range.and.an.outstanding.throwing.arm.

“I.firmly.believe. that.DJ. is. going. to.have.an.outstanding.season,”.Anderson.said..“He.has.worked.harder.this.offseason.than.any.other. year. and. realizes. that.he. can.put. together. a.special. senior. year..He. is. a. catalyst.and.does. so.many. things.which.sometimes.go.unappreciated.”

Collins.gained.plenty.of.experience.as.a.freshman.in.2009,.hitting..245.with.a.homer.and.11.RBIs.in.40.contests,.as.he.split.time.in.left.field..He.totaled.five.multi-hit.games,.including.a.trio.of.three-hit.contests.despite.being.slowed.by.a.thumb.injury.that.sidelined.him.for.three.weeks..Now.fully.healthy,.Collins.hit.the.ball.with.authority.in.the.fall.and.is.poised.for.a.big.campaign..

“I.don’t.think.fans.have.seen.the.real.Boomer.Collins.yet,”.Anderson.said..“Before.his.injury,.he.was.one.of.our.best.hitters.and.never. really. got.untracked.after. coming.back..He’s. fully.healthy.and.really.swung.the.bat.well. in.the.fall.. I.am.looking.for.big.things.from.him.this.season.”

Cooper.is.the.wildcard.among.the.Husker.returnees,.as.he.rejoined.the.team.following.the.Holiday.Bowl..He.played.in.35.games.as.the.Huskers’.fourth.outfielder.as.a.freshman,.hitting..239.with. two.homers.and.nine.RBIs..A.fifth-round.draft.pick.out.of.high.school,.Cooper.has. shown.flashes.of.his. talent. in.both.sports..

“The.biggest.difference.in.Khiry.this.year.is.that.he.wants.to.be.great.and.knows.what.it.takes.to.succeed,”.Anderson.said..“Last.year,.it.was.tough.at.times.trying.to.balance.both.sports,.but.with.a.year.under.his.belt,.we.are.seeing.a.lot.of.progress.”

Christensen.comes.to.Nebraska.with.impressive.credentials,.belting.42.homers.and.driving.in.163.runs.during.his.prep.career..He.was. a.first-team.all-state.performer. in. Iowa,.hitting. .524.with.16.homers.and.49.RBIs.as.a.senior..He.was.an.infielder.in.high.school,.but.has.the.athleticism.to.play.a.number.of.spots.on.the.diamond.

Hirschberg.was. one. of. the. top. players. in. the. state. of.Colorado,.earning.all-state.honors.after.hitting..446.with.eight.homers.and.29.RBIs.in.just.19.games..He.has.the.potential.to.be.a.starter.during.his.college.career.

Cody Asche will contend for a starting spot at third base. Last year, he hit .290 with 21 RBIs in his first season as a Husker.

Outfielder DJ Belfonte started 157 games entering his senior season. Last season, the three-year starter led the Huskers in both stolen bases and triples.

COACHES/STAFF

For all the heights the Nebraska baseball program has reached in the last seven years, there has been one guiding principle which has kept the Huskers grounded amid its success under Mike Anderson.

That is a belief that student-athletes are his top priority, and it has been something that Anderson has been mindful

of since becoming Nebraska’s 23rd baseball coach on June 21, 2002. When Anderson, who had served as an assistant in the Husker program for eight seasons, stepped to the microphone for the first time as head coach, he made it clear that his student-athletes were his top priority.

“This is about kids,” Anderson said. “This is about the commitment to young men getting their education at the University of Nebraska, getting their education on the baseball field, and obviously winning baseball games.”

Anderson has lived up to that ideal, guiding the Husker program to a 280-144-2 record, two Big 12 titles (2003 and 2005) and the school’s third College World Series appearance since 2001 (2005). The Huskers have reached NCAA Regional play in five of the past seven seasons, including three regional title games (2003, 2005, 2007) and have won 40-or-more games four times in that stretch, including a school-record 57 games in 2005. Anderson is among the top-25 active Division I coaches with a career .660 winning percentage.

Although the 2009 Huskers missed the NCAA Tournament for the second time in 10 years, the season allowed many of Nebraska’s younger players to develop. The Huskers played nine freshmen against a league that saw seven teams reach the NCAA Tournament. First baseman Tyler Farst earned All-Big 12 honors while 10 players were named Academic All-Big 12 - equaling the most in a single-season in program history. The Huskers battled on the field, posting 15 come-from-behind victories on the season.

In 2008, the Huskers turned what many thought was a rebuilding year into another successful campaign. Behind first-team All-Big 12 performers Johnny Dorn, Jake Opitz and Mitch Abeita, Nebraska went 41-16-1 and was ranked as high as fifth in the country before receiving a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time in six years. The Huskers showed resiliency, recording 21 come-from-behind wins during the year and were in contention for a Big 12 title until the final weekend of the regular season. The 2007 Huskers overcame a slow start to play their best baseball down the stretch, reaching the title game of the NCAA Tempe Regional. Nebraska won five of their final six conference series, including series wins over Super Regional qualifier Oklahoma State and nationally ranked Oklahoma.

The 2006 season saw its share of success, as Nebraska compiled a 42-17 record, reached the Big 12 Championship game and was the No. 6 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament. Three Husker players - Luke Gorsett, Tony Watson and Ryan Wehrle - garnered All-America honors, while Brandon Buckman garnered first-team ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America honors.

Anderson piloted the Huskers to their most successful season in school history in 2005. NU compiled a 57-15 record and advanced to the College World Series for the third time in a five-year span. The Huskers won their first-ever CWS game, while the 57 wins led the nation and shattered the school mark of 51 set in 2001. Anderson was selected as the Big 12 Coach of the Year for a second time after guiding NU to both the regular-season and tournament titles. The Huskers had three All-Americans, led by consensus national player of the year Alex Gordon, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2005 MLB Draft, along with Joba Chamberlain and Johnny Dorn. Gordon led a contingent of 11 players who brought home All-Big 12 accolades in 2005, including four first-team selections.

In 2004, the Huskers narrowly missed making the NCAA Tournament, ending the year with a 36-23 record, but still enjoyed numerous highlights. The Huskers posted four wins over top-10 teams, including a pair of victories over No. 1 Texas. Gordon was a first-team All-American and was chosen as the Big 12’s Player of the Year while becoming the first Husker since 1985 to be selected for the U.S. National Team.

Anderson made an immediate impression, guiding Nebraska to a 47-18 record in 2003. The Huskers won the Big 12 regular-season title with a 20-7 mark while Anderson became the second first-year Husker coach to lead NU to a conference title and the first since 1929. For his efforts, he was tabbed by his peers as the Big 12 Coach of the Year. Anderson was joined by first baseman Matt Hopper and pitcher Aaron Marsden in sweeping the Big 12’s major awards, as they were chosen as Player and Pitcher of the Year, respectively. The duo was joined by designated hitter Curtis Ledbetter and pitcher Quinton Robertson as first-team All-Big 12 selections. The Huskers also enjoyed success in the classroom, as Jeff Leise and Aaron Marsden were named CoSIDA First-Team Academic All-Americans, while Leise repeated as the Academic All-American of the Year.

Commitment to student-athletes and commitment to teaching – these have been the hallmarks throughout Anderson’s coaching tenure at NU since he joined the Husker baseball coaching staff in the fall of 1994.

Since joining the Nebraska staff, Anderson has coached a total of 25 first-team all-conference honorees, while 48 of his players have signed pro contracts. Anderson has seen 11 of his players reach the Major Leagues, including Gordon (Kansas City) and Chamberlain (New York Yankees) in 2007 and Brian Duensing in 2009. Anderson’s most famous pupil is Houston Astros outfielder Darin Erstad, who earned first-team All-America honors in 1995, when he was the first overall selection in the 1995 MLB Draft. Erstad, a three-time Gold Glove winner, also appeared in the 2000 and 2002 All-Star Games.

Anderson also helped Ken Harvey develop into the nation’s best hitter in 1999. Harvey led Division I with a .478 average, while belting 23 homers en route to first-team All-America honors. Harvey represented the Kansas City Royals in the 2004 All-Star Game. Other former Huskers coached by Anderson who have reached the Major Leagues include Todd Sears, Jamal Strong, Dan Johnson, Adam Shabala, Adam Stern and Drew Anderson.

Eight Huskers have been tabbed first-team All-Americans under Anderson’s tutelage, while five players – Erstad (1995), Harvey (1999), Dan Johnson (2001), Jed Morris (2002) and Gordon (2004-05) – have been finalists for various national player-of-the-year awards. Gordon became Nebraska’s first major award winner in 2005, taking home the Dick Howser Trophy, the USA

Mike Anderson has led Nebraska to a pair of Big 12 regular-season titles and a College World Series appearance in his seven seasons as head coach.

A trio of Huskers were selected in the 2009 Major League Baseball Draft, marking the ninth consecutive year that at least three NU players were chosen. Of those three, Mike Nesseth and Adam Bailey decided to return to Nebraska for the 2010 season.

Before he was named head coach following the 2002 season, Anderson enjoyed a successful tenure as the Huskers’ hitting coach, as NU led the Big 12 in hitting in each of his final four seasons.

In 2002, the Huskers led the Big 12 in seven offensive categories, including batting average, hits and runs scored. Individually, Morris and Leise were both first-team All-Americans, as Morris led the Big 12 in both homers (23) and RBIs (90), while Leise ranked among the conference leaders in nine offensive categories. In 2001, Anderson coached a Husker offense that ranked in the top 10 nationally in both team average and runs per game. NU led the Big 12 in 11 offensive categories, including batting average, runs scored, homers and stolen bases, while Anderson coached a trio of first-team All-Americans in outfielder John Cole, designated hitter Matt Hopper and first baseman Dan Johnson, a finalist for the Dick Howser Trophy that year.

As the outfielders coach, Anderson coached three All-Americans and seven all-conference selections, including Leise, who was a first-team All-American in 2002, while leading the Huskers to their second straight CWS appearance.

Anderson’s commitment to his student-athletes also extends to the classroom. Over the past 15 years, the Huskers have placed 73 players on the first-team all-conference squad. Nebraska has had 10 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans and 20 first-team academic all-district selections.

Before arriving in Lincoln in the fall of 1994, Anderson was the top assistant coach at the University of Northern Colorado. He joined the Bears’ staff after four years as a head coach with the Northern Colorado Lab School. Along with his collegiate coaching experience, Anderson has worked as a camp instructor for Greg Riddoch’s Major League Baseball School and Tom Runnells’ Pro Clinics. Both Riddoch and Runnells managed in the Major Leagues. Anderson also spent two years as a scout for the Toronto Blue Jays.

From 1983 through 1986, Anderson was an outfielder at Northern Colorado for College Hall of Fame Coach Tom Petroff. Anderson was an eighth-round pick by the California Angels before spending four seasons in professional baseball. Anderson earned a bachelor’s degree in physical education from Northern Colorado in 1990. Anderson graduated from Eaton High School in Eaton, Colo., where he was a first-team All-Colorado shortstop for Coach Jim Danley.

He and his wife Kim have four children: Kaleigh, Taylor, Madison and Andie.

COACHES/STAFF

What is your coaching philosophy?There are a lot of parts that go into a coaching philosophy. In terms of the program, I love

the hitting aspect, but understand that pitching and defense wins championships. It is important for our staff to create a great environment for our pitching and defense, while at the same time, continuing to develop the best hitters we can.

Our philosophy is to recruit student-athletes with great academic credentials and talent. We always say that our success is based on not only recruiting great talent, but also developing that talent when players come to Nebraska. We take a lot of pride in the development of our student-athletes. We believe in teaching, both on and off the field, to give them the best chance of being successful in whatever they choose, whether it is professional baseball or in the business world.

What is your program’s recruiting philosophy?We have a three-tiered approach to recruiting. First, we want to look for players throughout

the state – and that always is our primary focus – then we look to the Midwest and then nationally. We feel the talent level in this state is very good, and if you look at the makeup of our roster, we have tried to make recruiting quality players from this state a priority. For kids around the state and the Midwest, there is something special about playing baseball for the University of Nebraska.

What do you look for in potential student-athletes?We look for players who meet our needs, both talent-wise and academically. It is two fold. You

can’t be one or the other. We’ve been successful over the years because we recruited players who not only have talent, but also have the willingness to work hard and develop in our program. There are a lot of kids who feel as though they have reached their potential, but we want our players to come in with the expectation that if they come to Nebraska, they will continue to develop, both as players and as people.

What are your objectives for the Nebraska baseball program?Our whole objective is to create the best possible environment for developing our student-

athletes and putting them in a position to be successful following their time at Nebraska. On the field, our main goal is to annually contend for the Big 12 title, as well as put ourselves in contention for the NCAA Tournament and the College World Series. To have an opportunity to be successful in the postseason, you need to do well in the conference, so that is an emphasis of ours. The Big 12 is annually one of the best, if not the best baseball conference in the country, so if we are in contention for the league title, then we should have an opportunity to be successful in the postseason.

We would like to contend for a national title, and that is a goal that every program, no matter what level, strives for. To do that, you need a purpose. Our purpose is to learn to play the game with a passion. We call it the Nebraska Way, which is striving to be better each day and having the ability to take a day-by-day approach. In the conference, it’s not going to take luck – it takes hard work and going out and giving your complete effort every time we take the field.

When recruiting a potential student-athlete, what are NU’s selling points?I think Nebraska offers a lot to student-athletes. The first thing we tell players is that if they

come to Nebraska, they will have the opportunity to work with the best support staff in the country. From our academic coordinators to our strength staff to medicine and nutrition, all of

these aspects are included to help each person reach their potential and give them the best chance for success.

Another major selling point is the Nebraska education, and that is a special thing in this region of the country. Once you graduate from the University of Nebraska, there are doors that open up to you, and that creates a great environment to succeed professionally.

Some of the other things that make Nebraska such a strong sell is the chance to play in an outstanding facility in front of some of the most supportive fans in college baseball and the chance to work with a coaching staff that not only knows about winning, but also cares about each individual. That helps us foster a great team environment. Our players have an opportunity to play in front of fans who are supportive unlike any other program in the country.

How impressive is Nebraska’s academic support system?We put a strong emphasis on academics. We believe if you are good in the classroom and in

the community, you will put yourself in a position to succeed on the field, and we try to make that a priority for our players. One of the main reasons that we have been so successful is because of the discipline of the players in our program, and that carries over to other parts outside of baseball. With all the time demands that baseball has during the season, we get a lot of support from Dennis Leblanc, Katie Jewell and the rest of the people who work in our academic program.

How important is Nebraska’s home-field advantage of Hawks Field? The thing we have learned over the past seven years is that, while the facility is great, the fans

are even better. The fans that fill this place are what make it a special environment, and that is something that carried over from when we played at Buck Beltzer Field. Hawks Field at Haymarket Park is a marvelous facility to play in and recruit to because it is one of, if not the finest college baseball stadium in the country. It also gives our fans a great environment to watch baseball because it is such an intimate setting and they are close to the action. Playing here is a win-win for our program and our fans.

Dave Bingham #42Assistant Coach/Defensive Coordinator • Fifth Year • Emporia State (1972)

Dave Bingham is in his fifth year on the Nebraska staff and possesses a wealth of coaching knowledge that spans more than three decades.

At Nebraska, he serves as the Huskers’ defensive coordinator, overseeing team defense and working with the Husker infielders. In addition, Bingham handles opponent

scouting and serves as the program’s recruiting coordinator.Bingham, who joined the Husker coaching staff in August of 2005, has been a coach in the

collegiate ranks for 27 seasons, including successful head coaching stints at Emporia State (1974-87) and Kansas (1988-95). In addition to his vast coaching experience, which includes eight tours with various USA Baseball programs, Bingham ran the Dave Bingham Baseball Academy, one of the top instructional schools in the Midwest, for a decade before joining the Huskers. For his accomplishments, he was inducted into the NAIA Hall of Fame in January of 2009.

In his two years as Nebraska’s defensive coordinator, the Huskers have posted team fielding percentages of .970 or better. In addition, two of his infield pupils have been selected in the MLB Draft. All-Big 12 performer Jeff Tezak was selected in the 24th round in 2009 by the Chicago White Sox while first-team All-Big 12 second baseman Jake Opitz was selected by the Chicago Cubs in the 12th round of the 2008 MLB Draft. In addition, Jake Mort finished his career with a .953 fielding percentage, the best ever by a Husker third baseman.

During his two seasons as pitching coach, Bingham showed the ability to develop talent, as 10 of his pitchers were drafted, including a school-record seven selections in 2007. Of the 10 pitchers drafted in Bingham’s tenure, only three had been drafted as pitchers prior to joining the Husker program, and all 10 significantly improved their draft stock under Bingham.

The 2007 season marked the first time in school history that three Husker pitchers - Drew Bowman (fifth), Matt Foust (sixth) and All-American Tony Watson (ninth) - had been plucked in the first 10 rounds. In his first season as NU’s pitching coach, he guided the Huskers to a 3.40 ERA, which ranked second in the Big 12 and 13th nationally, while three pitchers - Watson, Johnny Dorn and Brett Jensen - earned All-Big 12 accolades. Bingham played a key role in the development of first-round draft pick Joba Chamberlain, who reached the Major Leagues in his first professional season.

Player development is a trademark under Bingham, who was the head coach for eight years at Kansas from 1988 to 1995 and 14 years at Emporia State from 1974 to 1987, compiling a career record of 807-495-2 in that span.

He built a successful program at Kansas in his eight years at the school, becoming one of the Jayhawks’ all-time winningest coaches with a 249-225 record. Bingham led Kansas to its first two NCAA Regional appearances in program history, culminating with the school’s first College World Series appearance in 1993. That team finished with a 45-18 record, setting a school record for wins and earning a top-10 ranking. For his efforts, he was named Big Eight and ABCA Midwest Region Coach of the Year. The following season, he brought KU back to the NCAA Tournament with another 40-win season and finished the year ranked in the top 25.

Bingham had six players combine for seven All-America certificates at Kansas, while 20 players were drafted or signed professional contracts during that time, a fact made more impressive since only two of those players were drafted prior to coming to Kansas.

Prior to his arrival at Kansas, Bingham spent 14 seasons at Emporia State, where he posted a 588-270-2 record (.673). During his tenure at ESU, Bingham built the Hornet baseball program into one of the best in the NAIA ranks. His teams won 11 district titles, five regional crowns and eight conference championships. He led ESU to five NAIA World Series appearances and won the national championship in 1978. Bingham was selected NAIA District X Coach of the Year 10 times, NAIA Area III Coach of the Year six times, and was recognized as the national coach of the year in 1976, 1984 and 1986. A total of 20 of his former players advanced into the professional ranks.

COACHES/STAFF

Eric Newman is in his third season as Nebraska’s pitching coach after joining the staff on July 2, 2007. Newman came to Nebraska after five years at Dallas Baptist, serving the last three seasons as head coach of the Patriots program.

Newman made an immediate impact in his first season at Nebraska in 2008, as the Husker pitchers played a major role

in advancing to an NCAA Regional for the ninth time in 10 years. He took a staff that had just 14 returning wins and guided the Huskers to 41 wins and a No. 1 regional seed. On the season, NU led the Big 12 in complete games (seven) and ranked among league leaders in saves (17, second), strikeouts (491, third) and ERA (4.18, third). The 491 strikeouts by the NU hurlers were the most since 2005, while the 8.46 strikeouts per game established a school mark. The staff was led by two-time All-American Johnny Dorn as well as Big 12 selections Thad Weber and Dan Jennings, while five Huskers were selected in the 2008 Major League Baseball Draft, including third-round pick Aaron Pribanic (Seattle) and Jennings, who was taken by the Florida Marlins in the ninth round. Dorn (15th, Florida), Weber (16th, Detroit) and Zach Herr (38th, San Diego) rounded out the draftees, as only Weber had been selected previously in the MLB Draft.

In 2009, the Huskers underwent growing pains after 11 pitchers were selected in the previous two MLB Drafts. The Huskers set the stage for future success by breaking in an entirely new Big 12 rotation, led by redshirt freshman Sean Yost and 15th-round pick Mike Nesseth, who returned to Nebraska for the upcoming season.

Newman came to Nebraska after serving as head coach at Dallas Baptist University for three seasons. He guided the school to a 95-72 record, while guiding the program through its transition to the Division I ranks. In his final season at DBU, Newman’s team finished with a 30-26 mark, including wins over College World Series qualifier Mississippi State and regional qualifiers St. John’s and Fresno State. Eight players were selected to the All-Independent team, while three players were drafted and another signed as a free agent prior to the 2007 draft. Austin Knight earned Collegiate Baseball Freshman All-America honors, while right-hander Victor Black earned one of 36 invites to Team USA’s tryout camp in June of 2007 and was a supplemental first round pick in the 2009 MLB Draft by the Pittsburgh Pirates.

During the two years the Patriots were eligible for NCAA Division I individual awards, Dallas Baptist had one Collegiate Baseball All-American (Drew Holder) and 14 players named to the All-Independent Team. For his efforts, Newman was named Independent Coach of the Year in 2006.

Newman’s teams recorded wins over Oregon State, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, TCU, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech during his three years at DBU.

On the national level, Dallas Baptist had at least one player invited to Team USA summer tryouts in three of his four seasons at the school (Lance Broadway in 2004, Austin Krum in 2006 and Black in 2007) and a total of 15 players – including eight pitchers – selected in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft or signed professional free agent contacts.

Newman began his Dallas Baptist career as the school’s pitching coach in 2002, a position he held for two seasons before being named head coach. In his time as an assistant, he lowered the team ERA from 5.80 in 2002 to 3.28 in two seasons. Their 3.28 team ERA in 2004 would have ranked seventh nationally except for DBU’s provisional Division I status.

That season, he produced a pair of 10-game winners in Broadway and Jeff Gilmore. Broadway, a finalist for the Dick Howser Trophy and Roger Clemens Award in 2005, would eventually become a first-round pick of the Chicago White Sox and reached the Major Leagues in 2007. Three of Newman’s Dallas Baptist pitchers earned National Pitcher-of-the-Week honors, while his staffs have thrown a perfect game and three no-hitters since the start of the 2003 season.

Newman also brings expertise from the professional ranks, as he served as player-coach for the Single-A affiliate Vero Beach Dodgers in 2002. He played professionally for a total of eight seasons, including stints in the San Diego Padres, Chicago Cubs, and Arizona Diamondbacks organizations.

Newman spent two years playing collegiate baseball at Fresno State prior to transferring to Texas Tech in 1993. He played for the Red Raiders one year before being chosen in the fifth round of the MLB Draft by the San Diego Padres in 1994.

Newman graduated from Texas Tech with a bachelor’s degree in family studies in 1997, and completed his master’s degree in higher education at Dallas Baptist in 2005. Eric and his wife Melissa have a 2-year-old son, EJ.

COACHES/STAFF

A Hall of Fame football coach returned to his roots on Oct. 16, 2007, to become the 13th athletic director at the University of Nebraska. Tom Osborne accepted the position at the time because, Osborne said, “Harvey Perlman asked me.”

Perlman, UNL’s chancellor, asked Osborne to lead the program where he had served so productively as head football coach. Two months later, on Dec. 20, 2007, he announced that the word “interim” had been removed from Osborne’s title. In June 2009, he announced that Osborne would remain in the athletic director position for the foreseeable future.

“Tom originally agreed to come in temporarily and get the department moving in the right direction. He clearly accomplished that. I believe he now feels comfortable serving on an ongoing basis and I certainly feel comfortable having him do so,” Perlman said. Osborne has repeatedly stated his preference to head the athletic department until two of his biggest projects – the Life Skills Center and a new basketball practice facility – are fully funded and the buildings are completed.

Holder of master’s and doctorate degrees from the University of Nebraska in educational psychology, Osborne said he probably would not have considered coaching if he had not met Bob Devaney, who convinced him to become a volunteer graduate assistant on his staff.

“Bob epitomized the value of loyalty, and I will always be grateful for the confidence he showed in me,” Osborne said. “Because of his leadership and empowerment as a coach and an athletic director, I was fortunate to serve 25 years as head coach.”

Devaney put Osborne in charge of the offense that won two national titles and allowed him to concentrate on three areas he thought were important – a strong academic program for student-athletes, a strength and conditioning program and a more formalized program to attract walk-on players.

Each area has grown into an important asset for all 23 Nebraska sports programs, which Osborne now oversees. Within months of his appointment, Osborne quietly re-established an athletic department mission based on five core values – integrity, trust, respect, teamwork and loyalty.

Under Osborne’s leadership, the Husker bowling team brought home Nebraska’s 24th all-time national championship in 2009, while the volleyball squad won another Big 12 title and advanced to the NCAA semifinals. Across the board, Husker programs have started an upward trend in the Big 12 and national standings the past two years and head into 2009-10 riding a wave of success.

In the classroom, Husker student-athletes found stellar academic success in 2008-09, the first full year with Osborne at the helm. Nebraska had six academic All-Americans, bringing its nation-leading total to 271, while also setting a conference record with 172 academic All-Big 12 selections across all sports.

Since retiring from football in 1997, Osborne has found several ways to stay active in his home state. His most visible post-coaching foray came in the political arena, as he served three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives from Nebraska’s 3rd congressional district from 2000 to 2006. He also made a gubernatorial bid in 2006 before turning to academia.

A native of Hastings, Neb., Osborne served as a senior lecturer at Nebraska in the College of Business Administration, teaching leadership and business ethics, in the fall of 2007. Osborne also worked as a consultant for local college athletic departments for two years.

“I’ve spent the majority of my life working with the athletic department at the university and I want to do what I can at this point to continue in the pursuit of excellence that has been previously established,” Osborne said.

Osborne has also poured time and effort into building a unique mentoring program within the state. The TeamMates program, founded by Tom and his wife, Nancy, in 1991, provides support and encouragement to school-aged youth with the goal of seeing children graduate from high school and pursue a post-secondary education.

While he may hold a key position that molds the future of Nebraska Athletics, many will always remember Osborne for his legendary service to the program as a football coach.

Osborne was named Nebraska’s 25th head coach following the 1972 season and worked the sideline for 25 years. Under Osborne’s direction, the program achieved remarkable success, exceeding any in its rich history. The Cornhuskers mounted a 255-49-3 record under Osborne, good for a winning percentage of .836. The 255 victories are sixth-most all-time among major college football coaches while the winning percentage ranks fifth all-time.

His achievements were so highly regarded that the National Football Foundation waived its three-year waiting period so that he could be inducted into its Hall of Fame in December of 1998. He is one of only four coaches in history to have the mandatory three-year waiting period waived.

Osborne’s coaching career came to a poetic end in the 1998 Orange Bowl. In his final game, the Huskers defeated No. 3 Tennessee, 42-17, giving him a share of a third national title in his final four seasons. The victory left Osborne as the first coach in college football history to retire as a reigning national champion, along with the nation’s best active winning percentage.

Osborne guided the Huskers to back-to-back titles in 1994 and 1995, then capped his career by sharing the 1997 title with Michigan. Under Osborne, NU became just the second school all time and the first since Oklahoma in 1955-56 to post back-to-back perfect national championship seasons. Osborne’s last five Nebraska teams put together the best five-year run in collegiate football history with an amazing 60-3 record, including five consecutive 11-win seasons.

Osborne-coached Nebraska teams captured 13 conference crowns, including six of his last seven seasons on the sideline. All 25 of his Husker teams won at least nine games and went to a bowl, while 15 won 10-or-more games.

In the classroom, the Husker football program totaled 65 CoSIDA Academic All-America awards in Osborne’s 25 years. To put Osborne’s dedication to developing complete student-athletes in perspective, he accumulated more football Academic All-Americans in his 25 years as coach than any other football program in the nation has produced in its history.

Prior to becoming head coach, Osborne spent five seasons under Devaney, helping the Huskers win back-to-back national championships in 1970 and 1971. In 1973, Osborne succeeded Devaney, who also served as Nebraska’s Athletic Director from 1967 to 1993.

Osborne and his wife, Nancy, have three adult children, Mike, Ann and Suzanne and four grandchildren.

COACHES/STAFF

The primary goal of the Nebraska Baseball Academy is to help each athlete develop a positive mental attitude about themselves and the game of baseball. Our focused instruction provides campers with sound fundamentals, disciplined work habits, drill work for personal work and a passion for the game. Our personalized approach helps build confidence. We want our athletes to confidently approach their next challenge and help them contribute to their personal goals and those set by their coaches and team.

Nebraska Baseball Academy CampsHere is a sample of some of the many camps run by the Nebraska

baseball academy during the year.

Fall LeagueThe Fall League is a mini-season experience and provides the

participants an opportunity to continue to improve their overall baseball skills and development in the fall. Teams are encouraged to register; individuals who register will be assigned to rosters based on age level. Coaches and/or parents are encouraged to volunteer for open coaching positions and also will benefit by learning the Nebraska way to play the game of baseball. The league runs for five weeks on Sundays and will include one weekday evening session for Skill Instruction. All games will include umpires and will be held at various fields throughout the City of Lincoln and area communities. Age levels range from age 9 to high school seniors.

Intensive Hitting CampsThis is a four-week class, meeting once a week for 60 minutes

(four hours of total instruction). The Intensive Hitting Instructional Camp is a hands-on class for those who want to improve their hitting. Classes are very small and sessions are designed to teach drills and philosophy that we hope will create a consistent level of success for all ages and abilities.

Hitting CampThis one-day camp will take you through the drills and hitting

techniques used at the University of Nebraska. This camp is open to 7 year olds through high school seniors.

Comprehensive Hitting CampsThis is a four-week class, meeting once a week for two hours

(eight hours of total instruction). The hitting techniques and drills used in this camp are the same taught and practiced daily by Nebraska Baseball. This camp will focus less on individual instruction and more on a comprehensive training program with a special emphasis on routine and repetition.

Pitching CampThis one-day camp is designed to provide an introductory level

of instruction to the Nebraska pitching philosophy, daily training regimens, delivery drills, pitches, and bullpen routines used by the Nebraska pitching staff. It will provide each participant with an understanding of his delivery, his pitches and the areas that need to be improved to enhance the pitching performance. This camp is great for a tune up or an introduction to pitching. This camp is open to 7 year olds through high school seniors.

Comprehensive Pitching/Catching CampsThis is a four-week class, meeting once a week for two hours

(eight hours of total instruction). This progressive throwing program focuses on pitching mechanics and maximizing each pitcher’s delivery. The throwing progression is the same program taught and practiced daily by the Nebraska pitching staff. This camp will focus less on individual instruction and more on a comprehensive training program with a special emphasis on routine and repetition. Catchers will be required to bring their own catching gear.

Baseball Speed/Strength/Agility CampThis is a four-week class, meeting twice a week for 75 minutes

each night (10 hours of total instruction). Train with the Nebraska Baseball Strength & Conditioning Staff over a four-week session. This camp will focus on overall speed, overall agility and baseball specific training for arm strength and core strength.

2009 REVIEW

Jeff Tezak steals home against Baylor, helping the Huskers close out the season with a sweep of the Bears. It was the first steal of home by a Husker since March of 2008.

For the Nebraska baseball team, the 2009 season provided a great learning experience. The Huskers finished with a 25-28-1 record, missing the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2004 and only the second time in the last decade.

While the wins weren’t always there, the Huskers showed resilience throughout the year and battled to the very end, closing out the season with a three-game sweep of NCAA Regional qualifier Baylor, which earned respect from Head Coach Mike Anderson.

“I don’t think I could be more proud of a group of kids for this reason: It was a very adverse and challenging year,” Anderson said. “When you’re not winning baseball games, those things happen. This group stayed together and that’s the No. 1 thing I think we can learn out of this entire situation. When there was a lot of stuff going on, they kept their effort and kept trying. It didn’t result in wins, but they kept trying.”

The season finale was a fitting conclusion, as Erik Bird capped a strong final campaign with a complete game, setting a career high with seven strikeouts in his first-ever Big 12 start. Bird went 2-0 with a 1.98 ERA in his final three starts, all outings of at least nine innings giving the Huskers’ taxed pitching staff a boost down the stretch.

“He finished the right way and did some great things for this program in his career,” Anderson said of Bird.

While Bird found a groove on the mound, seniors Jake Mort and Nick Sullivan both enjoyed their best offensive seasons. Mort, who hit one homer in his first three years, belted a pair of homers and drove in a career-high five RBIs against BU. He finished the year setting career highs in batting average (.274), homers (six) and RBIs (29). Sullivan finished his senior campaign hitting .272 with seven homers and 25 RBIs. The trio, along with fellow seniors Cody Neer and Jeff Tezak, helped smooth the transition for a Husker lineup that underwent a youth movement.

One of the bright spots of the 2009 season was it allowed a young group of Huskers an opportunity to earn playing time. The Huskers played nine freshmen, including five position players, as they set the stage for future success. NU allowed its freshmen opportunities to play, as Cody Asche, Boomer Collins, Cory Burleson, Khiry Cooper and Kale Kiser all played at least 25 games in the field.

Asche led the youngsters at the plate, hitting .290 with a pair of homers and 21 RBIs in 43 contests, while Burleson hit .275 in 24 starts behind the plate. His 24 starts were the most by a Husker freshman catcher in 20 years, and he finished strong, hitting .333 in NU’s final 15 games while not committing an error in that stretch.

On the mound, freshmen Sean Yost and Kash Kalkowski continued to develop throughout the season. Yost moved into the starting rotation in late March and emerged as a solid member of the rotation. He went 1-1 with a 2.28 ERA in his final four Big 12 starts, earning his first Big 12 win with a complete-game shutout of Baylor. Kalkowski became a vital part of the Husker bullpen, making 19 appearances and fanning 32 hitters over 34.1 innings.

Outfielder Adam Bailey was another newcomer who provided a lift to the Husker attack. The junior college transfer hit .325 with team bests in both homers (12) and RBIs (50), as he ranked among the conference leaders for most of the year. He was one of two junior college transfers to make an impact, as infielder Kyle Bubak hit .277 and was second on the squad with 35 runs scored.

Those newcomers joined veterans Tyler Farst and DJ Belfonte to provide a solid leadership corps. Farst earned All-Big 12 honors, leading the Huskers with a .333 average while driving in 36 runs, while Belfonte hit .256 and led NU in stolen bases and triples while providing solid outfield defense.

2009 Season ReviewHuskers Rebuild for Future Success

Nick Sullivan enjoyed his best season as a Husker, hitting .272 with seven homers and 25 RBIs, while also achieving in the classroom. Sullivan was honored as Nebraska’s Student-Athlete of the Year and won Big 12 and NCAA postgraduate scholarships.

Erik Bird threw at least nine innings in each of his final three starts, including back-to-back complete games against New Mexico and Baylor.

2009 Season NotesSullivan Named Male Student-Athlete of the Year:

Outfielder Nick Sullivan received one of the highest honors a Husker student-athlete can receive, as he was chosen as the 2008-09 NU Male Student-Athlete of the Year on April 26. He is just the third baseball player to receive the award since it was created in 1991. Sullivan was a two-time academic All-Big 12 selection who graduated with a 3.78 GPA in finance. A first-team CoSIDA Academic All-District VII selection in 2008, he was on the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll in all 10 semesters at Nebraska and was a nominee for the 2009 Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award. On the diamond, Sullivan hit .272 with seven homers and 25 RBIs.

Nebraska Male Student-Athlete of the YearYear Baseball Student-Athlete2003 Jeff Leise2005 Daniel Bruce2009 Nick Sullivan

Comeback Kids: Nebraska had 15 come-from-behind wins among its 25 victories, including eight wins where the Huskers had to overcome at least a three-run deficit. NU has 113 come-from-behind wins under Mike Anderson since 2003. Nebraska won five games in its last at-bat in 2009, including four runs in the bottom of the eighth in a 14-13 win over Northern Colorado on March 24.

Bird Flies High: Senior Erik Bird threw at least nine innings in each of his final three starts, becoming the first Husker pitcher to do that this decade. He went 9.1 innings in a 12-inning win over Creighton before tossing consecutive complete games against New Mexico (April 28) and Baylor (May 17). His performance against the Bluejays was the longest by a starter since Tony Watson pitched 10.0 innings against Missouri on March 23, 2007.

Record-Setting Opener: Nebraska set a school and Big 12 record in the opener against UL-Lafayette, as five Husker pitchers combined for 22 strikeouts The performance broke the school and conference mark of 21 set by the Huskers at

Iowa State on April 18, 1999. Three of the top five strikeout performances have been under pitching coach Eric Newman over the past two seasons.

Snapped: Nebraska went 25-28-1 in 2008, as its streak of 11 consecutive seasons over .500 was the second-longest streak in the Big 12. Only Oklahoma State, which had not had a losing record since a 16-28 mark in 1977, had a longer streak among Big 12 schools. OSU is the only program in the Big 12 without a losing season since the Big 12 was formed in 1997.

10 Hits Was Key: Reaching double figures in hits was a key for the Huskers in 2009. When they had at least 10 hits in a game, the Huskers were 21-9-1, but just 4-19 when they were held to fewer than 10 hits.

Preserving Wins: Nebraska was an impressive 15-2-1 in 2009 when a starting pitcher left with a lead.

Double Duty for Bailey: Adam Bailey did something that no other Husker had done in 14 seasons against UL-Lafayette on Feb. 21. He became the first Husker player to earn a victory and hit a homer in the same game since Alvie Shepherd accomplished the feat against Kansas on April 5, 1995. Bailey entered the game as a reliever in the top of the fourth and fanned three over 2.2 innings of two-hit relief. He moved to right field for the final three innings, going 1-for-2 with a ninth-inning homer that was the final margin of victory in a 9-8 win.

Caught in a MLB Draft: Nebraska had three players selected in the 2009 Major League Baseball Draft in June and has had 26 draft picks over the last four seasons. Both Mike Nesseth and Adam Bailey elected to return to school, while Jeff Tezak hit .280 with 32 RBIs playing in Great Falls in the Pioneer League

Jake Mort belts the second of his two homers against Baylor in the season finale. Mort, who had one homer in his first three seasons at Nebraska, totaled six to rank third on the team in 2009.

Academic All-Big 12 Leaders: Nebraska set a school record in 2009, as 10 Huskers were named to the academic All-Big 12 team. It topped the previous high of nine set in 2004, while the eight first-team selections (3.20 or better GPA) also established a school mark.

Nebraska had eight members on the first team, including DJ Belfonte, Matt Freeman, Casey Hauptman, Jake Mort, Cody Neer, Eric Rose, Nick Sullivan and Jeff Tezak. It marked the third time that both Sullivan and Mort were honored and the second straight year for Belfonte. In addition to the eight first-team honorees, Tyler Farst and Michael Mariot both received second-team laurels.

Graduation Day: A trio of Husker players participated in graduation ceremonies last year. In December of 2008, Jeff Tezak graduated prior to his senior year, and spent the 2009 season working on a master’s degree. Last May, Jake Mort and Nick Sullivan completed their degrees and participated in graduation ceremonies. In all, three of NU’s five seniors received their degrees before completing their playing days.

Seeing Double: The Huskers played eight doubleheaders in 2009, including five of eight weekends in conference action. All five Big 12 doubleheaders were caused by inclement weather. The Huskers have not lost a conference tilt to inclement weather since 2001, the second-longest streak in the Big 12.

Putting Up Runs: Nebraska showed the ability to score runs in bunches in 2009. The Huskers plated five runs in an inning 14 times in 2009.

Phillips 66 Big 12 Baseball ChampionshipMay 26-30, 2010 • AT&T Bricktown Ballpark • Oklahoma City, Okla.

The Phillips 66 Big 12 Baseball Championship returns to Oklahoma City’s AT&T Bricktown Ballpark for a May 26-30, eight-team championship. The Brick, which opened on April 2, 1998, and seats 13,066 fans, serves as the home facility for the Class AAA Oklahoma Redhawks. The facility will host its 11th baseball championship in the league’s 14-year tenure.

In 2006, the Phillips 66 Big 12 Baseball Championship surpassed the one million mark in attendance and a total of 1,279,001 fans have watched the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship. Previous championships have almost annually set attendance records while playing at three sites to date: All-Sports Stadium (1997) in Oklahoma City, AT&T Bricktown Ballpark (1998-2001, 2003, 2005-09), and Ameriquest Field in Arlington (2002, 2004).

Past championship winners include Kansas (2006), Nebraska (1999-2001, 2005), Oklahoma (1997), Oklahoma State (2004), Texas (2002-03, 2008-09), Texas A&M (2007) and Texas Tech (1998). Championship Format

The Big 12 began the implementation of a two-division, pool-play format for the championship in 2006. Previously, the event was conducted as a double-elimination tournament. Under the current format each of the eight teams competing is guaranteed at least three games.

Results from the league’s 27-game round-robin conference schedule will determine the eight seeds for the championship. Seeds 2, 3, 6 and 7 will compete in pool play on one side of the bracket, while seeds 1, 4, 5 and 8 will play in the other. The teams with the best record within their bracket will advance to the championship game, with the winner earning the Big 12’s automatic berth into the NCAA Championship.

Head-to-head competition will break ties within each bracket. In the event of more than two teams being tied for the top spot within a bracket, the highest seeded team will advance to Sunday’s winner-take-all championship game.

Championship HistoryIn May of 2006, the Big 12 announced that Oklahoma City

and AT&T Bricktown Ballpark will continue to host the Phillips 66 Baseball Championship through the 2011 season. The tournament has been contested in Oklahoma City 11 of the last 13 years (All Sports Stadium – 1997; Bricktown Ballpark – 1998-2001, 2003, 2005-09).

In 2002, the Phillips 66 Big 12 Baseball Championship moved to the largest postseason venue with the exception of football and outdoor track and field in Big 12 history. Ameriquest Field in Arlington, Texas, home of the American League’s Texas Rangers, set a national record with 150,196 tickets sold for 14 games. In the two years (2002, 2004) at Ameriquest Field, the tournament had 275,824 tickets sold for 27 games--an average of more than 10,000.

The 1999 event had then-record fan support with a record 129,334 attendance for 13 games. Fans also had the opportunity to watch an expanded, eight-team event (from the previous six-team contests in 1997 and 1998) at Oklahoma City. One year after that record turnout, the 2000 Phillips 66 Championship had the third-largest turnout in Division I baseball history with 126,482 tickets sold for 14 games.

In 1997, the initial six-team Big 12 tourney drew a then-nation’s best total attendance of 56,742.

The Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship has received consistent television coverage over the years. FSN and its regional affiliates have carried each title game as well as the “if necessary” contests in the 1997 and 1998 classics at OKC. All-time, a total of 29 games have been televised. In addition, the Big 12 conference video streamed each of the first three days of competition on Big12sports.com. Ticket Information

The Big 12 Conference has established a consistent level of national success on the field and in the classroom as it continues its 14th season in 2009-10. Since it began play in 1996-97, the Conference can boast of 35 team crowns and over 420 individual NCAA Championships. The success continued this fall, as Oklahoma State won the NCAA men’s cross country title. The Big 12 also had a school play for the BCS National Championship for the seventh season. A year earlier, the Big 12 added three more national titles to its ledger as Texas A&M captured crowns in men’s golf as well as men’s and women’s outdoor track & field.

The Big 12 has had four Heisman Trophy winners in its 13-year history. In 2008, the Big 12 established a high-water mark, as for the first time in the 74-year history of the Heisman Trophy four of the top five vote-getters hailed from the same conference, including award-winner Sam Bradford (Oklahoma). The league followed that recognition with two of the top five finalists, including Nebraska’s Ndamukong Suh in 2009. During the past six seasons a total of 14 NCAA trophies have been hoisted by Big 12 institutions, with at least one national crown won in all but one year for the conference, including each of the past 13 seasons.

The Big 12 leads all conferences with its seven appearances in BCS title games. Seven league squads have played for the football national championship in the last 10 years with berths in 17 BCS games overall, including two each in 2007 and 2008. In the past two seasons, the Big 12 has had 16 players earn consensus All-America accolades. In basketball, 10 women’s and nine men’s teams have advanced to their respective Final Fours in the past eight seasons as the Big 12 continues its place among the elite intercollegiate athletic conferences. Numerous national honors have been won by basketball student-athletes during the league’s history. The Big 12 had a national player of the year honoree for the third straight year when Blake Griffin (Oklahoma) was the consensus winner in 2008-09.

The Big 12 and its member institutions are committed to a competitive environment where sportsmanship and fair play take center stage. Whether on the field, in the classroom, or within the community the student-athletes, administrators, coaches and game officials of the Big 12 support the highest ideals in sportsmanship.

Big 12 student-athletes also do well in garnering national academic recognition. Sarah Pavan (Nebraska) was named Academic All-America of the Year in volleyball in 2006 and 2007 by ESPN The Magazine and College Sports Information Directors of America with a 4.0 grade-point average in biochemistry. She also won the national academic honor presented for all sports in 2006-07 and was named recipient of the prestigious 2006-07 Honda-Broderick Award as Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year. She is the first athlete since the Big 12 was formed to earn the accolade. In its history, the conference has over 330 academic honorees, averaging more than 25 each season.

The Big 12 can boast of other stories that combine on and off the field success. Patience Knight (Texas Tech) was the recipient of the Honda Inspiration Award in 2008, given to an outstanding female college athlete who overcomes adversity to excel in her sport. Competitive excellence, scholarship and sportsmanship are all equal components of the Big 12 philosophy. All-Big 12 teams and Academic All-Big 12 squads are recognized for each sport at the end of their respective seasons.

At the end of each academic year, the Conference honors its top male and female student-athletes with the Big 12 Athlete of the Year and Big 12 Sportsperson of the Year awards.

Institutions can also nominate student-athletes for the prestigious Dr. Prentice Gautt Postgraduate Scholarships at the end of each academic year. A total of 225 scholars have received over 1.3 million in postgraduate financial aid through the first 13 years of the program.

The Big 12 sponsors 21 sports. Men’s squads include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, swimming and diving, tennis and wrestling. Women’s teams are fielded in basketball, cross country, golf, gymnastics, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis and volleyball.

The conference is made up of 12 institutions that have shared many traditional rivalries throughout their histories. Member schools include - Baylor, Colorado, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State. Texas, Texas A&M and Texas Tech. The institutions created a league that encompasses seven states, over 46 million people and television households in 18 of the top 100 markets within its geographic footprint.

The Conference conducts championships for 20 of its 21 sports. Each championship helps to determine teams and/or individuals that will represent the conference in national postseason competition. The winner of the Big 12 football championship game earns the league’s berth into the prestigious Bowl Championship Series. In the last several years the Big 12 has increased its bowl agreements and expanded television opportunities for all sports through contracts with ABC/ESPN and FSN. Most recently, the league renewed and expanded its multi-year arrangement with ABC/ESPN, Inc. The new contract began in 2008-09.

In its first 13 years, the conference has distributed more than $1.1 billion to its 12 member institutions. The Big 12 staff administers to over 4,600 student-athletes in its 21 sports. The conference office is headquartered in Irving, Texas.

HISTORY

A four-year starter from 1947 to 1950, Bob Cerv led NU to a pair of Big Seven titles in his Husker career. The Weston, Neb., native earned first-team All-America honors from the ABCA in 1950 after batting .444 – an average that still ranks fifth on NU single-season charts – with nine homers and 36 RBIs. He displayed tremendous power, leading the nation with an .878 slugging percentage in 1950, helping the Huskers to a Big Seven Conference title and an appearance in the NCAA playoffs.

Steve Stanicek earned first-team All-America honors from Baseball America in 1982, hitting .449 with 20 home runs and 70 RBIs.

Don Brown became the second Husker to receive first-team All-America honors from the ABCA, leading the Huskers to a 12-8 record and a second-place finish in the Big Seven Conference. A two-year letterwinner who led the Huskers in hitting both seasons, the Omaha, Neb., native batted .446 as a senior, leading NU in RBIs (19), hits (37) and total bases (58). His .446 average ties for fourth-highest in school history. For his efforts, he was a two-time team MVP.

One of the finest players in Nebraska history, Gene Stohs capped his career by earning first-team All-America honors from The Sporting News in 1972. A four-year letterwinner and an All-Big Eight selection, he batted .369, while leading the Huskers in hits (39), runs scored (22), doubles (7) and stolen bases (12). Stohs struck out just three times in 106 at-bats. Stohs also holds the distinction of being NU baseball’s first two-time CoSIDA

Academic All-American, earning second-team honors in 1970 and 1972.

Game Summary: After plowing his way through Kansas’ first 20 bat-ters, (and having only four Jayhawks hit the ball out of the infield) senior pitcher Cliff Faust must have thought he was seeing his per-fect game slip away. The Jayhawks’ Dick Lewallen came to the plate with two outs in the seventh (and final inning) and promptly hit a sinking line drive into left field. But left fielder Joe Scherger made a diving grab to save Faust’s perfect game. Outside of Lewallen’s game-ender, no other Jayhawk made a serious bid to reach base.

Alex Gordon earned a place among the finest players in school history during his three-year career, becoming the first Husker to earn national player-of-the-year honors in 2005. Gordon swept nearly every major honor that season, including the Xanthus Dick Howser Trophy, the Brooks Wallace Award and the USA Baseball Golden Spikes Award, in leading NU to 57 wins and the school’s first College World Series victory.

Gordon began his professional career with a flourish in 2006, hitting .325 with 39 doubles, 29 home runs and 100 RBIs en route to being named Baseball America’s Minor League Player of the Year. He ranked second among all minor leaguers in total bases (286) and fourth in runs scored (111) and ranked in the top 10 among all minor leaguers in homers, RBIs and slugging percentage. Gordon continued his rapid rise in 2007, starting at third base for the Kansas City Royals on opening day. He finished the year with a .247 average with 36 doubles, four triples, 15 home runs, 60 RBIs and 60 runs scored while going 14-of-18 on the base paths. Gordon led all American League rookies in extra-base hits (55) and was in the top three among American League rookies in six other categories, including homers and RBIs. In 2008, Gordon raised his average to .260 and belted 16 homers despite missing part of the year with a hip flexor. Gordon’s continued development helped Kansas City to its best record since 2003. Gordon battled a hip injury that required surgery in 2009, as he played in just 49 contests, hitting .232 with six homers and 22 RBIs.

A career .355 hitter in three seasons at Nebraska, Gordon finished his Husker career in the top 10 in eight offensive categories: total bases (447, third); homers (44, fourth); RBIs (189, fourth); doubles (53, fourth); runs (188, eighth); hits (249, ninth); slugging percentage (.657, ninth) and triples (11, 10th). Gordon played every game of his final two seasons at NU and closed his career with 171 consecutive starts. The Lincoln, Neb., native capped his career by becoming the No. 2 overall pick by the Kansas City Royals in June of 2005. His selection was the highest by a Husker since Darin Erstad was tabbed No. 1 by the Anaheim (now Los Angeles) Angels 10 years earlier. Gordon is the highest draft pick in Big 12 baseball history.

In his final season at Nebraska, Gordon led the Huskers to a sweep of the Big 12 regular-season and tournament titles, hitting .372 with 19 homers, 66 RBIs and 23 stolen bases. A two-time Big 12 Player of the Year, Gordon led the conference in six categories, and ranked among the league leaders in all 12 offensive categories. He became the first player since Baylor’s Jason Jennings to repeat as Big 12 Player of the Year.

As a sophomore, Gordon enjoyed one of the most prolific offensive seasons in school history to become the first Husker to receive unanimous first-team All-America honors since Ken Harvey in 1999. Gordon topped Nebraska in nearly every offensive category, hitting .365 with 18 homers and 75 RBIs. In the summer of 2004, he was selected to play for Team USA, the first Nebraska player to receive that honor since 1985. He hit .388 with four homers, 12 RBIs and 18 runs scored in 24 contests to help Team USA to an 18-7 overall mark. Gordon was named the top offensive player at the FISU World University Baseball Championships in Tainan, Taiwan, in 2004, leading all players with a .524 average with two homers, five RBIs and eight runs scored in eight contests.

Gordon played a major role in helping NU to a Big 12 regular-season title as a freshman, hitting .319 with seven homers and 48 RBIs to earn Freshman All-America honors.

The No. 1 overall pick in the 1995 amateur draft, Darin Erstad has enjoyed more than a decade in the Major Leagues, playing with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Chicago White Sox and Houston Astros. During his playing career, Erstad won a World Series ring with the Angels in 2002 and has appeared in the MLB Playoffs three times over the last seven years.

Erstad has spent the last two seasons with the Houston Astros, hitting .276 with four homers and 31 RBIs in his first season with the club. The 140 games he appeared in was his highest total since 2005. In 2007, he appeared in 87 games for the Chicago White Sox after spending his first 11 years with the Angels, hitting .248 with four homers and 32 RBIs despite a sprained ankle that restricted his playing time. It was the second straight year that Erstad battled injuries, as he played in just 40 contests in 2006, his final season with Los Angeles.

In 2005, Erstad helped the Angels to their second straight American League West title, batting .273 with seven homers and 66 RBIs. He was second among American League first basemen with a .997 fielding percentage and was honored for his charitable work, as he was selected as the Angels’ recipient of the 2005 Roberto Clemente Award for his efforts in the Southern California community.

Erstad made Major League history in 2004, becoming the first player to ever win Gold Gloves in the infield and outfield when he was chosen as the Gold Glove winner at first base. Erstad won his two previous Gold Gloves as a center fielder in 2000 and 2002. He ranked third among American League first basemen with a .996 fielding percentage, committing four errors in 1,056 total chances. Erstad helped the Angels to their first American League West Division title in 16 years, batting .295 with seven homers and 69 RBIs.

During the 2002 regular season, he batted .283 with 10 homers and 73 RBIs, while leading the Angels with 23 stolen bases. Defensively, he led all AL center fielders with a .998 fielding percentage, committing one error in 473 total chances, en route to his second Gold Glove in three years. During the postseason, Erstad batted .352 with a pair of homers, while tying a Major League record with 25 hits in the Angels’ first playoff appearance since 1986.

He enjoyed a career year in 2000, leading the Majors with 240 base hits, batting .355 and topping the Angels in seven categories, including average, runs, hits, total bases and stolen bases. His 240 hits tied for the 12th most in Major League history and the most since Wade Boggs had 240 in 1985. Erstad earned an All-Star bid for the second time and won his first Gold Glove, committing three errors in 362 total chances for a .992 fielding percentage.

In 1998, he hit .296 with 82 RBIs and 84 runs scored, and became an All-Star for the first time in his career. His jump to the Major Leagues came after only one year in the minors. Erstad hit .284 with four homers and 20 runs batted in during 57 games as a rookie in 1996. In 1997, he landed the Angels’ starting first base job, finishing the season with a .299 average and 16 home runs. In 1998, Erstad played in 133 games and hit .296 with 19 home runs and 82 RBIs.

A two-sport star at Nebraska, Erstad was a first-team All-American and Big Eight Co-Player of the Year as a junior in 1995, batting .410 with 19 homers and 76 RBIs. A Golden Spikes Award finalist as a junior, he finished his Husker career holding school records for most hits (six), runs (six), and RBIs (six) in a game; most hits (103) and total bases (194) in a single season (1995) and most career hits (261). In addition to his exploits on the diamond, Erstad, a two-time academic all-conference selection, was also the starting punter for the Huskers’ 1994 national championship football team, helping NU to a 13-0 record.

The Nebraska baseball program has been one of the nation’s premier programs for the last

decade. The Huskers have qualified for the NCAA Tournament in nine of the past 11 years including College World Series appearances in 2001, 2002 and 2005.

In 2007, Baseball America ranked the country’s top programs since 1999 in several categories including winning percentage, NCAA Tournament appearances, Super Regional and College World Series appearances, All-Americans, players drafted in the top 10 rounds and players reaching the Major Leagues. Nebraska ranked 11th nationally among all programs and was the only Northern program ranked in the top 15. The Huskers were second among Big 12 schools, trailing only Texas.

The Huskers have also enjoyed great success at the conference level, winning four Big 12 Tournament titles (1999-01, 2005) and three regular-season titles (2001, 2003, 2005). No Big 12 team has won more than Nebraska’s four Big 12 Tournament crowns since the league was formed in 1997.

The goal of every college baseball program around the country is the same every

year - to reach the College World Series in Omaha. Every June, fans around the country see the passion that Nebraskans have for college baseball. For college baseball fans, there truly is no place like Nebraska.

For the Husker baseball program, that takes on special meaning, as Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium is less than an hour from campus.

When the Huskers reach the College World Series, the stage is amplified, making it the toughest ticket in town. Nebraska has reached the pinnacle of college baseball three times since 2001, most recently in 2005.

Over the last decade, one of the hallmarks for the success of the Nebraska baseball program is player

development. From strength and conditioning, nutrition and skill instruction, players are ready for the rigors of professional baseball following their Husker experience.

Since 2000, Nebraska has had 21 players selected in the top-10 rounds of the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. Of those 21 players, only six had been drafted before embarking on their Husker career, including none in the first 20 rounds.

Players (from left) such as Jeff Leise, Justin Pekarek, Jeff Christy and Jake Opitz are among the many Huskers who improved their draft position during their time at NU. The Huskers have averaged seven draftees a year over the past eight seasons.

CoSIDA Academic All-America teams than any other school in the nation, as Nebraska continues to set the standard for the approximately 1,400 NCAA member institutions. The Husker football team leads all individual sport programs in the nation with 98 all-time CoSIDA Academic All-America awards. Nebraska baseball leads the Big 12 and ranks seventh among Division I programs with 17 CoSIDA Academic All-America awards in baseball.

Featuring one of the most innovative and comprehensive academic support systems in the country, Nebraska is dedicated to helping its student-athletes become outstanding leaders in their chosen fields. The academic support team is comprised of 14 full-time staff members and a tutorial staff of approximately 70 tutors addressing all subject areas.

Academic CounselingSeven academic counselors and five assistant academic counselors are in place to monitor daily academic progress, receive consistent course feedback, assist with the advising/registration process and monitor continuing eligibility and progress toward graduation. Essentially, academic counselors assist student-athletes in navigating the University of Nebraska system.

Tutorial SupportA tremendous resource for all academic abilities, unlimited tutorial support is available from day one up to college graduation. Subject and mentor tutors help provide academic support and study strategies to be successful. Supplemental Instruction, a sub-component of the tutorial program, provides targeted group review sessions to help ease the transition to college academics while improving study strategies and building academic self-esteem.

Study HallThere are two facets to the study hall program at Nebraska. Student-athletes either attend a structured study hall, typically two hours in length held four days a week, or have flex time where they study a specific number of hours each week as determined by their academic counselor and/or coach. Daily study hall reports are provided to the coaching staff.

Columns in the Hewit and Boekel Academic Center display the names of every Husker student-athlete who has lettered in a varsity sport and graduated from the University of Nebraska.

MentoringAll incoming student-athletes are required to meet with a mentor on a weekly basis to assist in making a smooth transition from high school to college. Mentors collect syllabi, gather and report academic progress information and teach academic success strategies.

Educational AssessmentsAssessments are administered during new student-athlete orientation to determine student strengths and areas for improvement. Results allow academic counselors to develop a personalized academic support program and to determine if more in-depth testing is warranted. When additional assessments are necessary, referrals are made to a consulting psychologist who conducts the assessments. If it is determined that a student-athlete has a learning disability, appropriate accommodations are made through the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities.

Multi-Cultural ProgramsDesigned to enhance cultural awareness, staff members concentrate efforts on issues of transition, adjustment and retention for students of color, international students and women.These support programs include Ladies First, International Night and Your Degree First. Your Degree First is a program designed to assist, motivate and promote minority student-athletes in pursuing the degree of their choice.

LEADING THE WAY

As one of the nation’s premier public institutions, the University of Nebraska is committed to undergraduate learning and world-class research. In early

2001, Nebraska was named to a national list of 16 schools that serve as a role model for other institutions by the Association of American Colleges and Universities. Quality instruction is emphasized in Nebraska’s 147 undergraduate majors, which are spread through nine undergraduate colleges.

The University of Nebraska was chartered by the Nebraska Legislature in 1869 as the state’s public university and land-grant institution. Founded in Lincoln, the University of Nebraska was expanded in 1968 into a state educational sys-tem now comprising four campuses under the guidance of a Board of Regents and a central administration.
